We are pleased to announce that, as of 26 April 2023, the Tech building is now listed as Grade II. Following a consultation and representations made, our fabulous building has been added to the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest (List Entry Number 1482500). A copy of the full report is available to download here:
Listing helps to mark a building’s significance and celebrate its special architectural and historic interest. It brings special protection so that its special interest can be properly considered in managing its future. Listing does not mean, however, that no alterations can be made – in fact, according to Historic England, the vast majority of planning and listed building consent applications to make changes to a listed building are approved.
From the Tech’s point of view, Grade II listing is excellent news; it opens up more opportunities for grant funding, for all the repair and renovations works planned over the next few years – subject to the necessary consents, of course.
