Conservation and Listed Buildings
Buildings of Local Interest (The Local List)
A small number of nationally important historic buildings in Bexley
are protected as Listed Buildings, but the Council has always recognised that
a lot more historic buildings in the area are valued by local people as part
of the familiar and cherished local scene. These buildings are included on the
Council's local list of buildings (413KB, PDF file) of
local architectural or historic interest. Entries
range from a milestone to a clock tower, and from a tiny cottage to a large country
house.
There are currently just over 370 entries on the local list and the Council
is committed to keeping the list under review. Some buildings have been unsympathetically
altered, thereby losing their special interest and a few have been demolished.
However, at the same time local residents and organisations have suggested other
buildings, several which were added to the list set out in Appendix D2 of the
Unitary Development Plan (adopted in 1996, revised 2004 and 2008).
