Listed & Locally Listed Buildings: Outline
Southend has a wide range of historic buildings. The most important are included by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport in the statutory list of 'buildings of special architectural or historic interest'. Southend has about 150 of these 'Listed Buildings'.
Other historic buildings are included in the Council's own non-statutory 'Local List'. The Planning (Historic Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990, requires the Council to have special regard to the desirability of preserving Listed Buildings, their setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest. Owners also have a responsibility to care for these special buildings.
