Listed Buildings
There are approximately 2,500 listed buildings in Thanet; the
largest concentration of listed structures in the south east of
England. A listed building can be a building, object or
structure that is of historical or architectural interest.
The structures are currently added to the Statutory list by English
Heritage with the approval of the Secretary of State for Culture,
Media and Sport.
Details of all the listed structures in Thanet are available
from Conservation and Planning Services
Carrying out work on listed buildings
Works to the interior or exterior of a listed building (often
including buildings or structures within the boundary "curtilage")
must be authorised through granting listed building consent.
It is a criminal offence to carry out works to a listed building
without prior listed building consent.
Applications for listed building consent are made to the
council. You can download a listed
building application form or request one from planning
services
In many cases works to the exterior of the building will also
require planning permission which will require a separate
application to be made.
If you are planning to undertake work on a listed building
You are strongly advised to first check it with a member of the
conservation team.
If you require technical advice including about maintenance and
repair of listed buildings, this can be obtained from the
conservation team.
