Locally Listed Buildings in Hackney. Local listing is a way for the Council to identify local heritage assets and set out what about them is important. The list contains buildings and structures which are of heritage significance and contribute to the local character and distinctiveness of Hackney.
These buildings are not listed by the Secretary of State, and don't have the same statutory protections as listed buildings. However, inclusion on the local list designates a building or structure as a heritage asset, and as such its conservation is an objective of the national planning policy framework.
