It is a complex and cumbersome mechanism which provides only limited protection. A fair description of the listing process can be found at

Sadly there are too many occasions of a developer either appealling against the original listing and getting a building de-listed (Odeon Newcastle Upon Tyne) or allowing (assisting) a building to deteriorate to the point where demolition is the only viable option.

THE APOLLO WAS AN ABC THEATRE FROM 1943 – 1977 AND WAS FOR MANY YEARS ONE OF THE COMPANY’S MOST IMPORTANT LIVE VENUES, HAVING A VERY LARGE STAGE AND EXTENSIVE DRESSING ROOM FACILITIES. IT IS FEATURED IN MANY PATHE NEWSREELS FOR SHOWS SUCH AS THE BEATLES AND THE ROLLING STONES (PATHE NEWS BEING AN ASSOCIATED BRITISH SUBSIDIARY) AND SHOWS WERE FREQUENTLY TELEVISED THERE AS ABC TELEVISION WAS BASED IN MANCHESTER.
