Adaptive reuse of unlisted historic buildings

Conversely, if sited in appropriate locations and incorporating a high level of design quality, some unlisted historic buildings may be suited to and benefit from an adaptive reuse in the form of a tall building development proposal. In such cases, emphasis should be placed on the long-term protection and sensitive reuse of the unlisted asset, with the host building informing the scale, height, massing, proportions and detailed design of any new development so that it makes a positive contribution to its historic setting.
