In England, a building or structure is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" by the
Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, in accordance with the
Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[5]English Heritage, a
non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[6] There are three grades of listing status. The Grade II designation is the lowest, and is used for "nationally important buildings of special interest".[7] Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest";[7] there are
69 such buildings in the city. There are also
24 Grade I listed buildings (defined as being of "exceptional interest" and greater than national importance, and the highest of the three grades)[7] in Brighton and Hove.
This list summarises 96 Grade II-listed buildings and structures whose names begin with T, U or V. Numbered buildings with no individual name are listed by the name of the street they stand on. Some listings include contributory fixtures such as surrounding walls or railings in front of the building. These are summarised by notes alongside the building name.
In 1902, newly retired royal jeweller James John Savage bought a large plot of land in Withdean and commissioned architects George Burstow & Sons to design a house for himself and his family and servants. The 12-bedroom house was designed with a lookout tower at Savage's request. It was still in private ownership until 1988, but was then acquired by the council and converted into flats and a daycare centre. "Imposing and richly detailed", the
Edwardian/
Queen Anne Revival-style brick building is "Brighton's finest example of a grand
Edwardian-era house".
