Grade II Listed Building Survey
Record The Condition of Grade II Listed Buildings With Historic England
There are thousands of Grade 2 listed buildings across the country and an exciting project is beginning for volunteers to survey their condition.
Historic England do not have the staff to manage this themselves but need to know how many buildings are at risk.
Civic Societies are very involved in this and training is being given. Let us know ASAP if you’d like to join in with a project being run jointly between Blackpool, Fleetwood and LSA Civic Societies, due to start this autumn.

What's Involved?
Our condition survey will prompt you to consider a range of building elements such as the roof, windows and walls. You’ll record your assessment of these, together with your judgement of the overall condition, using an online form or our app.
There will be two ways to submit your assessments:
- You’ll carry out your assessments on your mobile phone or a tablet using the app which will be made available when the national project is under way.
- Or, you’ll print out forms to fill in and then submit your assessment on the website later.
Once your assessment is online, it will be shared with local planning authorities to help them identify those Grade II buildings most in need.
