Listed Buildings Frequently Asked Questions

If someone is unhappy with the decision about a building, they may write to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport within 28 days of notification of the decision, requesting that it be reconsidered, at the following address:

Department of Culture, Media and Sport
Listing, Archaeology and World Heritage Branch
2-4 Cockspur Street
London SW1Y 5DH

The Department will then be able to indicate the likely timescale for consideration of the request, which will depend on the nature of the particular case.

Aside from this review process, decisions about whether or not to list or de-list a building are not usually revisited unless there is significant new evidence about the special architectural or historic interest of a building, or a material change of circumstances affecting the assessment of its architectural or historic interest.
