Written Question
Cultural Heritage: Coal Fired Power Stations
Monday 14th October 2024

Asked by: James Naish (Labour - Rushcliffe)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if her Department will support the preservation of a coal-fired power station cooling tower.

Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)

The power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar was previously assessed for protection as a Listed Building in 2017 but deemed not to possess the requisite special architectural or historic interest. A new listing application is currently being assessed by Historic England, which administers the listing process on the Secretary of State’s behalf. The application will be determined by DCMS in line with the Secretary of State’s Principles of Selection for Listed Buildings.
