PS_SD_HBSMRLocallyListedBuildingsNowDedesignated_POLY_CURRENT

Local Lists of Historic Buildings recognise locally distinctive historic or architecturally significant buildings and structures. This dataset, provided by the Government Digital Service, likely contains geospatial records of buildings that were once on these local lists but have since been dedesignated. The description notes it does not contain all formerly locally listed buildings.

Use Cases

• Analyze patterns of historic building dedesignation based on local heritage criteria mentioned in the description.
• Map the spatial distribution of formerly protected structures based on the likely geospatial data type.
• Study gaps in heritage protection by comparing this dataset against current national designation lists referenced in the description.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific niche: buildings that have lost their local heritage designation.
• Originates from an authoritative government source, the Government Digital Service.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description explicitly states the data does not contain all formerly locally listed buildings, indicating incomplete coverage.
