 Listed Buildings
If your building is listed you will normally know, through the local searches carried out when buying most buildings (listed status is registered as a land charge), or through receiving a notice of listing from the Council at the time of listing.
A listed building may not be demolished, extended or altered, internally or externally, in any way which, in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, will affect its character or appearance as a building of special architectural or historic interest, without the prior consent of the Local Planning Authority.
The fact that a building is listed does not necessarily mean that it must remain unaltered for all time, but there is a presumption in favour of preserving the integrity of all listed buildings.

I did look specifically at London Teleport with a view to including it in the ILW area, but geographically it falls quite clearly outside the 4 mile boundary, and as discussed at the meeting there did not seem to be any compelling reason for special treatment.
For example should a new building be opened in the extreme north of the current London Weighting area, around St Albans, then this may not attract Outer London Weighting as the building may be beyond the 18 mile limit.
Note the rejection of the London Weighting claim by BT and the failure of the company to meet their obligations regarding the review of the allowance that were agreed as part of the last increase.
