Buildings at Risk

Summary

Historic buildings which are known to be ‘at risk' through neglect and decay, or vulnerable to becoming so, are added to a Buildings At Risk Register. The National Register containing listed buildings of the higher grades, I and II*, is published annually by English Heritage. The Suffolk County Register includes the same buildings plus those of grade II and is published every other year.

Most of the buildings and structures on the Registers are in poor to very bad condition, but a few in fair condition are also included, usually because they have become redundant making their future uncertain.  Inclusion in the Register implies no criticism of the owners of the buildings concerned, many of whom are actively seeking ways to secure their buildings’ futures.

Babergh is working with several owners to tackle the issues on these buildings, including investigating the available options for grant aid.  Unfortunately there are some buildings, which have significant problems and for which stronger measures need to be taken. Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Councils can take a variety of steps to ensure such buildings are repaired.

There are however success stories and the following properties have been recently repaired and removed from the Register: 110 High Street, Hadleigh; Vine Cottage, Nedging; Cartlodge, Stoke by Nayland. 

Buildings at risk outside of the Babergh District may be found by searching English Heritage's Heritage at Risk Register.
