Any member of the public may nominate a building for listing to the Department at any time, if it is not already listed on the Buildings Database first. Such requests will generate a ‘listing query’ a visit from a departmental architect.  This initial assessment will decide if there is sufficient cause to commission detailed research.

The Department prioritises its listing activity on a holistic area based survey (The Second Survey). If one off potential listings are identified, this work will be prioritised based upon a risk assessment. For this reason it is important to support any requests with the maximum of information on the structure you are proposing and on any threats it may face.
