French term

arrêté de classement

French to English Social Sciences Architecture monuments and sites
Belgian French.

The text gives the location of a site in Belgium and then says "Il a fait l’objet d’un arrêté de classement en 1973".

From what I can see, this is an order stating which buildings/monuments/sites are listed or going to be listed, but I don't know the equivalent term in English.

Thanks to everyone I decided to go with Phil's suggestion of just saying the site was listed.
Miranda Joubioux (X) Nov 26, 2013:
I have to agree with Phil here. Just because it says "arrêté" in French, doesn't mean we should say it in English.

I can't make your link work But assuming your supposition is correct, haven't you already answered your own question? The site was listed in 1973?

order approving the listing of protected buildings

"Il a fait l’objet d’un arrêté de classement en 1973".
=
"It has been listed (by an order) in 1973"

or you can stick to the cumbersome ST:

"It has been subjected to an order approving its listing as protected building in 1973"

How will listing affect me?
Listing is not a preservation order, preventing change. Listing is an identification stage where buildings are marked and celebrated as having exceptional architectural or historic special interest, before any planning stage which may decide a building's future. Listing does not freeze a building in time, it simply means that listed building consent must be applied for in order to make any changes to that building which might affect its special interest. Listed buildings can be altered, extended and sometimes even demolished within government planning guidance. The local authority uses listed building consent to make decisions that balance the site's historic significance against other issues such as its function, condition or viability. Find out more from our Planning Advice page.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : "preservation order" is easy to confuse with "Tree Preservation Orders" (TPOs), and simply means "you can't touch this building" not "this building is of historical etc interest"
