Listed Buildings
Harrogate District has just over 2,000 "listed buildings" (some listings include multiple buildings or structures so that the actual number is estimated at almost 2,900). Listed building status is given by the Dept for Media, Culture & Sport (upon the advice of English Heritage) and confers protection against change not just of the building's exterior, but also its interior and, if built before 1st June 1948, any freestanding structure within the curtilage (garden or grounds) of the building, including the boundary wall. Listed buildings range from entire, grand country houses down to individual milestones and village pumps.
Find out more in our
Listed Buildings leaflet (2.5Mb) which explains the protection they enjoy, what restrictions are in force on development and alteration of a listed building and possible grant assistance to help with restoration. There is a 'full' list (up to the year 2001) of Listed Buildings in (
Appendix IV)(93Kb) of the Council's adopted Harrogate District Local Plan.
Local Planning Authorities, National Amenity Socities and some other authorised Government agencies can get access to listed building information from English Heritage's website:
Listed Buildings Online using a password provided by them. If you fall into one of the 'eligible for use' categories send your enquiry to
lbonline.enquiries@english-heritage.org.uk . Note that not all records are current or completely up-to-date and English Heritage ask for local council cooperation in updating their records. This service is not currently accessible to the public.
If you are thinking of applying for Listed Building consent, get a copy of the application form from our
Application Forms page, note that listed building applications now need a
Design & Access Statement to be included with your application.
English Heritage Buildings at Risk Register
|
The Register, published annually, brings together information on all Grade I and II* listed buildings, and Scheduled Ancient Monuments (structures rather than earthworks), known to English Heritage to be 'at risk' through neglect and decay, or vulnerable to becoming so. In addition, Grade II listed buildings at risk are included for London. |
The Heritage Section of North Yorkshire County Council also publishes a leaflet giving details of archaeology in the development process: Archaeology & Development (500kb).
