Description: When a building is recognised as being of special architectural or historic interest it is added to the statutory ‘List’. This is compiled by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on advice from Historic England.
Buildings on the List are given one of three grades which denote their level of importance, Grade I being the highest and Grade II the lowest:
• Grade I (one) ¬ of exceptional interest
• Grade II* (two star) ¬ particularly important
• Grade II (two) ¬ of special interest
Structures that might not be classified as ‘buildings’ ¬ such as railings, gate piers, walls, war memorials, gravestones, post boxes and telephone boxes ¬ can all be Listed Buildings.
Related to Listed Buildings are Certificates of Immunity (COI) and Building Preservation Notices (BPN).
Description: Historic buildings and archaeological sites of national importance are given legal protection by being placed on a ‘Schedule’ of monuments. Historic England identifies and advises on these monuments, which are placed on the Schedule by the DCMS.
Examples of Scheduled Monuments are Roman remains, burial mounds, castles, bridges, earthworks, the remains of deserted villages, and industrial sites. Scheduled Monuments can not include ecclesiastical or residential buildings (except for associated caretaker’s dwellings), and unlike Listed Buildings they are not assigned grades.
Description: Conservation Areas in England as designated by Local Planning Authorities and compiled by Historic EnglandConservation areas exist to manage and protect the special architectural and historic interest of a place - in other words, the features that make it unique. Every local authority in England has at least one conservation area and there are around 10,000 in England.Most conservation areas are designated by the Council as the local planning authority. In conservation areas there are some extra planning controls and considerations in place to protect the historic and architectural elements which make the place special.This national dataset is “indicative” not “definitive”. Definitive information can only be provided by individual local authorities and you should refer directly to their information for all purposes that require the most up to date and complete dataset. Conservation area data has not been supplied for all local authority areas. Local authority areas without conservation area data are attributed with 'No data available for publication by HE'.Data is updated as necessary when new data is received.Further details are available on our website here -https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/local/conservation-areas/Historic England Open Data Hub -https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/open-data-hub/Field name Field alias DescriptionName Name Name of Conservation AreaDATE_OF_DE Designation date Designation date of the Conservation AreaDATE_UPDAT Update date Date on which the Conservation Area boundary was amendedCAPTURE_SC Capture scale Scale at which the spatial representation of the Conservation Area was capturedLPA Local Planning Authority Local Planning Authority responsible for the Conservation AreaUID UID Unique reference number from the Conservation Areas at Risk Surveyx Easting Centroid eastingy Northing Centroid northing
