England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are very rich in the heritage of historic structures, whether great cathedrals, industrial buildings, houses or other building types. Together, they form a key aspect of the historic environment.

Buildings of special architectural or historic interest are given protection from unauthorised alteration, extension or demolition by being included on a statutory list compiled by the Secretary of State for National Heritage. The list is compiled under the terms of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

Before including a building on the statutory list, the Secretary of State is required to consult Historic England (formerly English Heritage). However often, the lists are compiled by local Historic England inspectors.

A building can be listed in one of two ways, through:

* Review – of an area or building type eg cinemas, warehouses, chapels, post-war buildings, etc.
* Spot listing – this follows recommendations from local authorities, individuals and local bodies highlighting the need for a particular building to be added to the list.

Spot listing is characterised by the speed of the resulting action – it is faster than the normal review process, hence ‘on the spot’.

= Getting a building spot-listed =

The first step is to make sure the building is not already listed. Lists of designated buildings can be found online at most local authority websites; for those without internet access, list descriptions should be available for public inspection at the district council or county planning offices.

* For England, lists can be viewed at ([https://www.savebritainsheritage.org/help-and-advice/getting-a-building-spotlisted https://www.savebritainsheritage.org/help-and-advice/getting-a-building-spotlisted].
* For Scotland, lists can be found on Historic Scotland’s website ([http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/search http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/search]
* For Wales, lists can be found HERE ([https://www.coflein.gov.uk/ https://www.coflein.gov.uk/]

Recommending that a building should be added to the list is open to everyone as long as they specify what the nature of the threat to the building is. Also, for a building to be listed it has to be of national importance – demonstrating local significance, no matter how great that might be – is not enough. Is the building under immediate threat? Was it overlooked when the original list was compiled?

Requests for a building to be added to (or removed from) the statutory list under the terms of section 6 of the 1990 Act should be directed to Historic England (details of how to do so can be found at, https://historicengland.org.uk/). Historic England assesses such requests before submitting its recommendation to the Secretary of State.

The sort of information that should be included in a request for listing includes:

* Justification – why should the building be added to the list?
* Details – full address, including if possible, the name of the civil parish and of the local, district and county authorities.
* Location plan – preferably an Ordnance Survey map, showing the building (or buildings).
* Brief description – historical and/or architectural information: eg, who designed it/who built it? Names, dates, designers, significance, materials used, etc are all useful. Help may be gained from local historians, architects and local history groups. Is the original planning application still on file (it may be if constructed in the 19th century)?
* Good photographs – photos do not have to be professional, just colour snaps that are in focus, taken in sunlight, showing the complete building elevations plus showing the building in its context.
* Statement – outlining the nature of any threat, whether real or perceived.

In England, once the application has been made, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport will request a Historic England inspector assesses the building, makes a report and recommends whether the building should or should not be added. It is then up to the Secretary of State to accept the inspector’s decision. If turned down, there is an appeal process although this is rarely successful.
