Listed Buildings

We have nearly 2,500 listed buildings within Wychavon. These are buildings of special architectural or historic interest that have been identified as being worthy of protection under special legislation, most often buildings that pre-date 1840. They represent the best examples of the Nation's architectural and historic heritage.

Buildings are listed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and are classified into grades I, II* and II based on the degree of interest. Proposals which effect either a Listed Building itself or the setting of a Listed Building will be assessed to ensure that they do not result in the damage or loss of fabric or features of special architectural or historic interest and that the character and setting of the building will be preserved.

You can search My Local Area to find out if a building is listed. Not all listed buildings are shown, for example buildings which are listed by association (curtilage listed). Please telephone or email for information about curtilage listed buildings.

Proposals will be determined against policies contained in the Adopted Wychavon District Local Plan, in particular, policies ENV13, ENV14 and ENV15. Regard will also be had to national guidance in Planning Policy Statement 5
