A locally listed building (also known as a ‘Building of Townscape Merit’) is a building or structure which is not statutorily listed, but is recognised for its significance to the history and character of the local environment.
Buildings of any type or age can be locally listed, even if they have been recently constructed.
Most locally listed buildings are found in one of our conservation areas and demolition of such a building will require planning permission.
Where a locally listed building is not within a conservation area, an applicant would need to ask for prior approval before any demolition takes place.
