Buildings of Special Architectural and Historic Interest
English Heritage maintain the national list of Statutory Listed
Buildings. The majority of the buildings were put on this list
after a countrywide survey. In Eastleigh, the survey was carried
out and buildings added to the list from 1955 to 1983. However
further buildings can be added at any time.
As well as the building itself, the listing
(which is not restricted to the listing description) also includes
objects or structures which have been part of the grounds or
curtilage since 1st July 1948. These structures
have the same protection as the main listed building: so a listing
can even include a modern extension.
Grades of Listed Buildings
Most listed buildings, over 400,000 countrywide, are graded as
Grade II.
Only 4% are listed as Grade II*.
Less than 2% are listed as Grade I. This is
the highest grade of listing and buildings of this grade are
considered to be of national importance.

What Sort of Buildings are on the Statutory List?
English Heritage will assess if a
building has:
- Architectural interest
- Historic interest
- Close historical associations
- Group value
and the national list is likely to include:
- All buildings before 1700 in anything like their original
condition
- Most buildings between 1700 and 1840
- Between 1840 and 1914 many are listed, although some selection
is necessary
- Only selected buildings after 1914 are listed.
- Buildings less than 30 years old are only listed if they are
outstanding and under threat.
- Buildings under ten years old are not listed.
