Whilst owners of listed buildings, such as those at Kensal Green cemetery, are expected to keep them in a good state of repair, there is no statutory requirement that they should do so. Enforcement is a matter for local planning authorities. They have a range of powers to require an owner to take the actions needed to ensure the proper preservation of a listed building.
