Listed buildings

You can find out details of listed buildings in Slough and across England from the National Heritage List for Buildings section on the Heritage Gateway website.

You can access the list here:

The National Heritage List for England gives information on all national designated assets. Each entry on the list has been given a unique reference number (list entry number). The entry will state any previous reference numbers associated with the heritage asset (or the Unique Identification Number - UID). You can still use the previous reference number to search the list.

The Local Plan for Slough contains a list of Listed Buildings in Slough in Appendix 5, although two more monuments were added to this list in 2010. You can access the Local Plan for Slough here:

Local Plan for Slough contains a list of Listed Buildings in Slough in Appendix 5

To demolish, alter or extend a listed building, you will need to apply for listed building consent from Slough Borough Council. This may include any proposed works to structures in the land surrounding the listed building, such as gates, stables and statues.

If your house is a listed building you will need to apply for Listed Building Consent as well as gaining standard Planning Permission

An application for listed building consent is necessary if you propose to alter, extend or demolish the whole or part of a listed building in a manner that would affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest.

This can include work to the interior as well as the exterior, work to objects or structures fixed to the building and work to detached objects or structures such as outbuildings, walls and gates within its boundary if they have formed part of the land prior to 1st July 1948. Some works, such as routine repair and maintenance, may not require consent.

It is a criminal offence to carry out works to listed buildings without consent.
