Charing Cross Station building earmarked for makeover given grade II listing
Summary

Why it matters
Listed status can materially change how alterations, repairs and refurbishments are approached, including the need for consent and more careful heritage-led design. Surveyors involved in assessing, advising on, or managing works to similar assets need to account for the implications of designation early in the process.
