What you get per designation
| field | meaning |
|---|---|
listEntry, name | Historic England list entry number and designation name |
designation | listed-building, scheduled-monument, park-and-garden, battlefield, protected-wreck, world-heritage-site, building-preservation-notice or certificate-of-immunity |
grade | listed-building grade: I, II* or II; parks and gardens also carry a grade. Blank for the other designations |
designatedDate, amendedDate | designation and last amendment dates where the layer publishes them |
areaHa | designation area in hectares, where published |
nationalGridRef, easting, northing | Ordnance Survey grid reference and coordinates |
latitude, longitude | WGS84 coordinates - only the protected-wreck layer publishes them (57 records); use the grid reference for everything else |
distanceMetres | straight-line metres from your coordinate to the designation's mapped geometry - 0 when the point is inside; most listed buildings are mapped as a small representative square (mode near only) |
captureScale, hyperlink | source capture scale and the official list entry page |
refreshedDate | snapshot date (search/aggregate) or query date (live near) |

Example inputs
Grade I listed buildings matching a word
{ "name": "church", "grade": "I", "maxResults": 100 }
Scheduled monuments in the list
{ "designation": "scheduled-monument", "maxResults": 200 }
What is designated near a coordinate (500 m)
{ "latitude": 51.5072, "longitude": -0.1276, "radiusKm": 0.5,"maxResults": 100 }
Proximity queries
mode=near asks the Historic England service directly for designations whose
mapped footprint intersects the radius around your coordinate, and returns
the straight-line distance in metres from the published WGS84 geometry
(0 when the point falls inside it). This is the practical conveyancing /
insurance question: listed building, scheduled monument, park, battlefield
or wreck within a given distance. Radius 0.01-5 km. The only filter near
accepts is designation; name, grade and list-entry filters apply to
mode=search.
Aggregate it
{ "mode": "aggregate", "groupBy": "designation" }
groupBy = designation (default), grade or captureScale. Every row
carries groupKey, groupCount, groupBy and totalMatched.
The default (empty) run returns the designation summary. A search returns at most 5,000 records per run.
Scope and licence
This is the statutory designation register, not planning applications: it tells you what is designated and where, not whether a planning application exists. Coverage is England; Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland keep separate registers. Designation records carry no personal data.
Published by Historic England under the Open Government Licence, which permits commercial reuse with attribution. Data source: the public National Heritage List for England feature service.
