Buildings at Risk

There are almost 3000 listed buildings in the Mendip District Council area. Whilst the majority are well maintained, there are buildings that are at considered to be 'at risk' through neglect or decay, or vulnerable to becoming so.

The main purpose of Mendip District Council's Building at Risk Register is as a working tool, helping to illustrate the number of properties 'at risk' within the District and to keep attention focussed upon them.

Whereas the previous versions of the register were only published once every four years, the new electronic version of the Register is continuously kept up to date to ensure that the information held is as accurate as possible. In addition to the Register, a Success Stories section is also available which highlights all of the buildings removed from the Buildings at Risk Register since 2001.

Inclusion in the Register implies no criticism of the owners of the buildings, many of whom are actively seeking ways to secure the building's future.

The Register and Success Stories can be downloaded free of charge from the Documents section.
