Locally Listed Buildings in the District can now be identified online on St Albans City and District Council’s map-based information website, known as the Local Information Service.

A Locally Listed Building is a property which the Council has identified as making a positive contribution to the character or appearance of the conservation area where it is located. Local Listing is different from the national Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest designated by English Heritage. Locally listed buildings do not have the same level of protection as nationally Listed Buildings.

Developers and residents will now be able to find out quickly whether a property is a Locally Listed Building or not by going to the Local Information Service at http://gis.stalbans.gov.uk/wmlcustomerservice/ .

The Local Information Service can also be found on the homepage of the Council’s website at http://www.stalbans.gov.uk by following the link under “Where you live”.

Once you have located your area of interest by entering a postcode or address, Locally Listed Buildings can be found by searching under Planning Constraints in the map layers section.

By using the map layers you can access a raft of local information including all planning applications submitted from 1977 to date.
