## What the listing protects

A listed building may not be altered, moved or demolished without approval. Under the [regulations in force since 1 October 2013](/protection-regulations), each listed building has a protection plan and a sign put up by the city, and falls into one of three protection categories, from keeping its main exterior features to keeping its exterior, plan, structure and details.
