Question
What work is the Welsh Government doing to protect historic buildings that are not listed by Cadw?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
Cadw is responsible for listing buildings of special architectural or historic interest at the national level. It is for local authorities, not the Welsh Government, to decide which buildings are of local importance. Cadw has published comprehensive guidance for local authorities in Wales explaining how such buildings may be protected through the planning system. The guidance is available at the following link: Historic assets of special local interest | Cadw (gov.wales).
