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.

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).
