Download coordinates as: In the United Kingdom, the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical, or cultural significance; Grade II* structures are those considered to be "particularly important buildings of more than special interest".
[1] Listing was begun by a provision in the Town and Country Planning Act 1947.
Once listed, strict limitations are imposed on the modifications allowed to a building's structure or fittings.
In Wales, the authority for listing under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990[2] rests with Cadw.
