What listing means
A listed building is one judged to be of special architectural or historic interest and added to the National Heritage List for England, which Historic England keeps on behalf of the government. Listing covers the whole building, inside and out, and usually anything fixed to it or standing within its grounds from before 1948.
There are three grades. Grade I buildings are of exceptional interest; Grade II* are particularly important buildings of more than special interest; Grade II, by far the most common, are of special interest. Listing doesn't freeze a building, but changes that affect its character need listed building consent from the council, Gateshead here, on top of any planning permission.
