What Are Listed Buildings?
Listed buildings are officially recognised as having special architectural or historic value, which comes with specific legal obligations to preserve their character. This means:
- Strict rules around alterations, extensions, or demolitions.
- The need to use traditional materials and methods for repairs.
- Legal responsibility to maintain and protect original features.
- Higher maintenance costs due to heritage considerations.
