Listed and locally listed buildings information

Update on Statutory Listed Buildings and Local Listed Buildings

The responsibility for statutory listing a building rests with Historic England.  Please contact the Planning Service planningdm@spelthorne.gov.uk for more information.  Alternatively, anyone may apply directly to Historic England for a listing via this link https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/apply-for-listing/

The Local Planning Authority is responsible for approving buildings on the Council's Local List.  Please contact the Planning Service planningdm@spelthorne.gov.uk   for more information. The initial request to locally list a building will be considered by the Principal Planning Officers in consultation with the Planning Development Manager or Strategic Planning Manager.  If it is considered that a building may be considered worthy of being added to the Local List, a view will be sought from the Council's Historic Advisor.  If the advisor concludes a building should be added to the list, the owner or the applicant's agent will be consulted and given 21 days to respond.  A report will be prepared and put before the Planning Committee for a decision.
