Wolverhampton's
Listed Buildings
How to propose a building
for local listing
|
|
|
Wolverhampton contains many buildings that do not meet the national criteria
for inclusion in the statutory list, and are still worthy of protection and
conservation in their own right. Such a building may be of architectural
importance, a rare example of a specific type of building, associated with
the historical development of its area or associated with a particular
historical event or person.
Local listing does not only apply to buildings, but can also apply to
parks, gardens, burial grounds or archaeological sites.
If you want to make a suggestion for an addition to the local list, all
that you have to do is to obtain and complete, a Wolverhampton Local List
Proposal Form, from the Regeneration and Transportation Department on the
second floor of the Civic Centre. If you do fill-in a form, be sure to
include some historical information along with suitable references.
