Listed Buildings
Listed Buildings
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport has a statutory duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to compile a list of buildings of special architectural historic interest. The list is administered by English Heritage. All matters relating to proposals for the repair, alteration, extension, redevelopment or demolition of listed buildings in East Northamptonshire should be directed to the Conservation team. Formally applications must go through the 1app system.
Listed buildings are classified by the following grades to show their relative importance:
- Grade I these are buildings of exceptional interest.
- Grade II* these are buildings of more than special interest.
- Grade II these are particularly important buildings of special interest, which warrant every effort being made to preserve them.
Listed Building Consent is usually required for any works affecting the character of a listed building. This can range from building an extension to repointing the outside of the building or repairing internal plasterwork.
