Listed Buildings

There are more than 1,000 listed buildings in Mole Valley.

A listed building can be a house, wall, public building, monument, memorial or any structure that is included on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic interest.

A list of the buildings, organised on a parish basis, has been compiled by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, as advised by Historic England.

Inclusion on the list means that the structure is given special protection through legislation contained in the Planning Acts.

If you wish to carry out work that affects a Listed Building, you will need to submit an application via the Planning Portal, or by email or post direct to Mole Valley District Council. More information about submitting an application can be found at Submitting a Planning Application.
