Apply to get a building listed

Anyone can nominate a building to be listed. You can do this by applying to Historic England. You will need to create an account with Historic England to do this.

Apply to Historic England to get a building listed

You would get it listed if you wanted to:

  • celebrate it for its architectural interest or significance
  • protect it from future alterations so there will be more control over what can be changed

You can also apply to Historic England to consider amending or removing entries. In rare instances, a building owner may consider that their building is no longer worthy of listing. De-listing can be submitted to Historic England for consideration.

See Historic England's guidance on de-listing a building for more information.
