Buildings at risk
National
The national Buildings at Risk Register is published annually by English Heritage. It brings together information on all grade I and II* listed buildings, and scheduled ancient monuments (structures rather than earthworks), known to English Heritage to be 'at risk' through neglect and decay, or vulnerable to becoming so.
The National List can be found at www.english-heritage.org.uk/bar
Local
South Tyneside has prepared a Local Buildings at Risk Register which identifies local buildings that are statutorily Listed as being of special architectural or historic interest of grade II status, which are considered to be 'at risk'.
Where buildings are left in an underused and poor condition, there are some powers available to seek to remedy the situation. These include:
- Urgent Works Notice
- Repairs Notice
