Local listed buildings are different from national listed buildings, which is a statutory designation (backed by legislation) and carries a much higher level of protection. Unlike those on the national list, local listed buildings aren't protected by legislation and don't need listed building consent for works. However, local listing is a way of making sure that the special local interest of a building is considered wherever planning permission is needed.
Local listing strengthens the character and protection of the local historic environment. It can prevent inappropriate development taking place in an area that could harm it's historic significance.
