What is a locally listed building?
A locally listed building is a building or other structure which is deemed to be of local architectural or historic interest and is included on
the Local List drawn up by the Council. It is a local designation and completely separate from national listing which is undertaken by
the government.
Why locally list buildings?
The Council locally lists buildings in order to give them the recognition they deserve. Local listing is a way of flagging up to owners and
decision makers that the building is of value to the local scene, character or history.
Locally listed buildings are chosen according to their:
A - Architecture
The architectural style, decoration and detailing, materials, craftsmanship and plan form may give it special interest if these features
are of particular note - above the ordinary in their design and execution, and reasonably intact. This criterion can include the best
works of architects who were active locally. In some cases altered buildings may still be worthy of inclusion, especially if by an architect
of importance.
B - History
Buildings and structures that reflect the diverse aspects of the social, economic, and physical development of Lambeth may be of
interest. If the building type is reasonably common – houses, pubs, churches - only the best examples will be added to the list.
C - Close historical association
Connections with people or events that are acknowledged as of being of borough wide / national importance may make some buildings
worthy of inclusion. Building materials of clear local interest (such as Doulton's architectural ceramics) may be considered in this
category.
D - Townscape
Some buildings and structures contribute to the richness of our street scene, individually or in groups they may contribute greatly to
the quality of local townscape or landscape. Similarly, they may contribute positively to the setting or group value of statutory listed
buildings.
E - Age and rarity
The older a building or structure is and/or the fewer the surviving examples of its type the more historically important it is.
Locally listed buildings are not given a grade like statutory listed buildings.
How are buildings listed?
Anyone can ask for a building to be considered for local listing. Local listing is undertaken by the Divisional Director of Planning (in
liaison with the lead member for Planning and Ward Councillors for the relevant Ward) on the advice of Conservation and Urban Design
Team. Local listing requests should be sent to the Conservation and Urban Design team and should include:






full address or a location map if the structure has no address
clear, up-to-date photographs of the main elevations of the building
any information about the building (e.g. the date it was built)
details of any specialised function (such as industrial use) or historical associations
the name of the architect if known
how the building fits in with and enhances its location
The older and more intact a building is the greater likelihood it is to be listed.
Can I appeal a local listing decision?
When a building is added to the local list the owner / occupant is informed in writing. If they wish to appeal the listing they must write
to the Executive Director responsible for the Planning Division explaining why they think their building is not of local architectural or
historic interest. Similarly, if the Council chooses not to locally list a building then the person who proposed the listing can write asking
the Executive Director to revisit the decision.
