Assessment of Resource Importance (Value) - Historic Buildings
10.2.21 For historic buildings, assessment of importance is usually based on the designations used in
the Listed Building process. However, where historic buildings are not listed, or where the
listing category may be in need of updating, professional judgement is required.
10.2.22 The criteria used in establishing the value of historic buildings within the listing procedure
include: architectural interest, historic interest, close historic association (with nationally
important people or events), and group value. Age and rarity are also taken into account; in
general (where surviving in original or near-original condition) all buildings of pre-1700 date
are listed, most of 1700-1840 date are listed, those of 1840-1914 date are more selectively
listed, and thereafter even more selectively listed.
10.2.23 At a local level, buildings may be valued for their association with local events and people or
for their role in the community.
10.2.24 DMRB Guidance Note 208/07 provides the following table as a guide for evaluating the
importance of historic buildings:
