Listed Buildings Frequently Asked Questions

What is a listed building?

All the Borough's Listed Buildings are included on a register called the "List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest", drawn up by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. In the Act any object or structure fixed to the building and any object or structure within the curtilage of the building, which although not fixed to the building, forms part of the land and has done so since before 1st July 1948 is also treated as part of the listed building. The statutory list of listed buildings in the Borough can be inspected by prior arrangement with the Conservation Team at the Customer Service Centre at the Town Hall, Maidenhead.
