Listing Selection Criteria for Post-1914 Buildings
Post-1914 buildings are subject to progressively more selective listing criteria due to greater survival rates, with normally only structures over thirty years old being considered for listing. Buildings are classified by their original use and selected through balanced evaluation.
After this period the choice is progressively more selective due to the greater number of surviving buildings. The proportion of post-1914 buildings that are listed is relatively small and normally only structures over thirty years old are considered for listing. Buildings are classified according to the use for which they were designed and built - industrial, educational, residential and so on. The choice of building within these types is made by a balanced evaluation using the criteria above.
