The Heritage Minister John Penrose today announced a range of listing decisions, including 3 new listings. These are:

• the Darul Ummah Community Centre, Tower Hamlets
• the Dunboyne Road housing estate, Camden
• the Branch Hill housing estate, Camden

The Camden estates were built in the 70s and have been listed because they both have special architectural interest. The Darul Ummah Community Centre has been listed on the grounds of special architectural and historical interest.

Other decisions

Two listings were rejected. These are:

• the former Horwich Locomotive works, Bolton
• Maiden Lane housing estate, Camden

In addition, Westbury Lane Bridge, near Reading is to have its listed status removed and previous decisions not to list 24-26 Hereford Square and 2C-2D Belsize Park Gardens, both in London, will be upheld.
