The register, first published in 1989, was produced as a result of a survey of listed “buildings at risk” undertaken by the Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust. Since then, monitoring and updating of the Register has been carried out by Derbyshire County Council’s Conservation and Design Team in conjunction with the Trust and the District; Borough and City Councils and the Peak District National Park Authority. Neither DHBT nor DCC can be held liable for any inaccuracy in the information provided.
The register contains lists of historic buildings which are at risk from vacancy, under-use, neglect or structural disrepair. Most of the structures are listed buildings; some are not listed but lie within conservation areas and a few are scheduled monuments. This information is continually updated by Derbyshire County Council with information provided by the local authorities and is arranged in order of District or Borough Council, then alphabetically by parish or town.
Owners of listed buildings, which are not being maintained in a ‘proper state of preservation’ can be subject to legal action by a local council under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, to enforce proper repairs, and in default this neglect may lead to compulsory purchase proceedings by the council.
The main register can be searched and viewed on Derbyshire County Council’s website and includes two Appendices, Appendix 1 which lists a summary of those buildings on the Register which are Grade I or II* on the statutory lists together with details about what is being done to protect and preserve them, and Appendix 2, which gives details of those buildings which have been removed from the register.
NOTE
Many of the buildings listed in this register are not for sale; unless specifically noted. This does not mean that the owner is unwilling to sell the property. However, anyone interested in purchasing a building which is not identified FOR SALE is advised to contact the Conservation Officer either at the County Council or the Local Planning Authority.
