Arlington House Listed Building Status, turned down by English Heritage

Like it or hate it Arlington House is a significant piece of architecture representative of its time and as it is likely to be with us for some time then listed status would have had some advantages.

I know the picture above is extreme but in this instance I think it saves me some words to convey where I am coming from.

I guess listed status would have been difficult for some powerful and wealthy organisations, however I am sure this wouldn’t have influenced the English Heritage decision.
