Formal listing should be accompanied by a viability statement. Do you agree?

Too many listed buildings are being left too long whereby they fall into a state of disrepair far beyond the condition they would have been in had they been subjected to a maintenance plan.

All buildings should be maintained to an acceptable standard, plus owners should be liable if this is not done.
