Historic England holds information about Listed Buildings and their reason for being listed including what criteria is used to select them. 

Assessing Heritage Significance

As part of applications affecting listed buildings there is a requirement to receive a Statement of Significance or Heritage Statement which should assess the heritage value of the asset (listed building or ancient monument and their settings) and quantify how the proposal will impact upon this value. This is set out on Pages 57 & 58 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2023 please see link on this page.
