  Listed building - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Listing was begun by a provision in the Town and Country Planning Act 1947.
In England and Wales the authority for listing is granted by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and is presently administered by English Heritage, an agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and (in Wales) Cadw.
Although the decision to list may be made on the basis of the architectural interest of one small part of the building, the listing protection nevertheless applies to the whole building.

 listed
Buildings are 'Listed' because they are considered to be of special architectural or historic interest and as a result require special protection.
The list of buildings is prepared by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and properties are scheduled into one of three grades: Grade I; Grade II* and Grade II with Grade I being the highest grade.
Conservation Areas are, "areas of special architectural or historic interest the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance".

 Listed Buildings and Conservation Area Legislation - Jonathan Taylor
These Acts set out the legal requirements for the control of development and alterations which affect buildings, including those which are listed or in conservation areas, and the framework by which control is maintained.
No separate application is required where an unlisted building lies within a conservation area, but the policies of the council should be carefully noted as the local authority is required to pay special attention to 'the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of that area' when considering an application for planning permission.
Within a conservation area anyone proposing to cut down, top or lop a tree is also required to give the local planning authority six week's notice, giving the authority the opportunity to consider whether a TPO should be made.

Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires local planning authorities to define as conservation areas any 'areas of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance'.
This designation gives the local planning authority some general control over maintaining the area, including regulating the demolition of unlisted buildings and the erection of new building within the conservation area and proposing policies designed to preserve or enhance the special characteristics of an area.
Local planning authorities are under no statutory obligation to consult the Victorian Society over applications for alterations of demolitions of unlisted buildings within conservation areas.
