Listed Buildings

Buildings of architectural or historic interest make an important contribution to the character of the Rochford district and many are of significant importance as individual buildings in their own right. The Council has a duty to preserve their qualities for both present and future generations.

Although pressure for development can pose a threat to the survival of these buildings, the greatest danger is from damage caused by crude or ill-advised improvements or alterations.

The leaflet entitled 'Guidance Notes for Owners of Listed Buildings' explains what constitutes a listed building, when listed building consent is required and what happens when a listed building is not maintained.

The booklet entitled 'Listed Buildings in the Rochford District' provides the actual listed building description provided for each listed building in the district. These lists are arranged by parish and within each parish by street name.

Both of these documents can be viewed via the Related Documents section.
