Listed Buildings

Listed buildings are buildings of special historic or architectural interest which have been recorded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Buildings on the list are graded I, II* and II, Grade I being the most important. Listed Building Consent is required for virtually any proposals which result in change. Applications affecting Grades I and II* listed buildings and those involving demolition are required to be referred to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

Internal and external works to listed buildings require listed building consent. Listed Building Consent is required for repairs alterations and/or extensions which materially alter the appearance, structure or historic interest of a listed building. This is in addition to any requirement for planning permission for a proposal.

There are over 1500 listed buildings in the Carlisle City Council area.
