We asked
From 8 August to 19 September 2024, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) asked for comments and information on the red-brick modern housing blocks near Braid Square, St George’s Road and North Woodside Road, to help inform our assessment of the buildings for listing.
A building may become listed if it is of special architectural and historic interest. Our selection guidance for designation and the policies we work to are published in the Designations Policy and Selection Guidance document.
We were keen to hear from people who know the housing blocks, and/or have a view on their design, history and significance.
You said
We are delighted to have received 73 responses to our online survey and one response via email.
We did
We will now work to analyse these responses, together with the feedback we received during the drop in event on 29 August. We may publish these responses where we have permission to do so.
Our next steps will be to compile a report on our findings, which we will publish online. If we consider that the housing blocks meet the criteria for listing, we will carry out a formal consultation before making a decision.

From 8 August to 29 August 2024, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) sought views on a proposal to list Denny Town House.
Denny Town House is a good example of a purpose-built municipal building that has remained largely unaltered since it was built in 1931-32. Designed in a historicist Scots Baronial style, it displays features of definite architectural quality that reflect the importance of its civic function. These include the distinctive crowstepped gables, the entrance tower and good quality stonework and simple detailing. The internal layout and decorative scheme also retains much of its earlier 20th century features and character. Since its construction, Denny Town House has provided important civic facilities for the area and has remained in constant use by the local community until its closure in 2021.
Through Citizen Space, we invited members of the public to tell us if they agreed with the proposed designation and if they had further comments to make.
We consulted directly with Falkirk Council as the owners of the building, and as the planning authority.
Our selection guidance for designation and the policies we work to are published in the Designations Policy and Selection Guidance document.

We did
After considering the comments received during consultation, we have listed the building at category C, listed building ref: LB52629.

We asked
From 3 July to 24 July 2024, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) sought views on a proposal to list the St Mary The Virgin Episcopal Church in Port Glasgow.
The church was built in 1982-84 to replace an older church and is part of a complex that includes an adjoining church hall, offices and rectory, set within landscaped grounds.
Designed by Frank Burnet, Bell and Partners, the church is of interest for its high quality interior design, with fixtures and fittings salvaged from its predecessor building. It is a little-altered example of a church of the later modern period that retains all its original ancillary components and setting.
Through Citizen Space, we invited members of the public to tell us if they agreed with the proposed designation and if they had further comments to make.
We consulted directly with Inverclyde Council as the planning authority and the owners and occupiers of the site.
Our selection guidance for designation and the policies we work to are published in the Designations Policy and Selection Guidance document.
