Registration is a form of protection for our built heritage which limits the changes which can be made to the exterior of the building but places no restrictions on the interior of the building. It allows for a delay period of one year before a building can be demolished or substantially altered. During this time it is hoped that a suitable alternative can be arranged.

However, exceptional examples which post date 1930 may also be considered. This includes commercial and residential buildings, churches, museums, barns, graveyards, parks or other examples of built heritage. They may also include archaeological sites and landscapes.
