To ask His Majesty's Government how many reviews are currently outstanding for decisions to be made by Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on whether or not to list a building, and what is the average time to conclude a review.
Answered on
16 December 2024
There are currently 9 review cases under consideration. The oldest case was received on 11th April 2024 and the most recent came in on 24th November 2024.
The designation review process itself is non-statutory, which means there is no statutory obligation to respond to cases within a specific timeframe, however we undertake to complete them as swiftly as possible once all new evidence and advice from Historic England, if required, is received.
All designation review requests received by the Department will be carefully considered and the decisions confirmed in due course.
