These documents are expected by conservation bodies and others involved in the maintenance and development of listed buildings, and and are now needed for Listed Buildings applications. In the foreseeable future every listed building will need one. The new Planning Policy Statement for the built heritage, issued in April 2010, places greater emphasis than before on having a good Statement of Significance.

They will also be required before external support in the form of advice or funds can be accessed.

They need not be difficult to write for most churches. The documents below were prepared by some of our churches for recent listed buildings applications and show the kind of thing required, though all will be different and be more or less complex according to the building itself, and the significance of the work proposed.
