Locally Listed Historic Buildings Now Dedesignated in the UK

Local Lists of Historic Buildings recognise locally distinctive historic or architecturally significant buildings and structures. This dataset from the Government Digital Service contains buildings that were previously on these local lists but have since been dedesignated. The data does not contain all formerly locally listed buildings.

Use Cases

• Analyze patterns of dedesignation for historic buildings based on local listing status.
• Map the spatial distribution of formerly protected buildings based on the geospatial nature of the dataset.
• Study the evolution of local heritage protection criteria based on the concept of locally distinctive significance.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific subset of heritage data: buildings that have lost their local designation.
• Originates from the authoritative 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.
