Consent to change a listed building
Listed buildings are sensitive to alterations as these can affect their special character and appearance, as well as the way their historic fabric functions. Listed building consent is required for all changes to a listed building that affect its character, in addition to any planning permission that may be required.
If you want to demolish, alter or extend a listed building in a way that affects its character or appearance, you must apply for listed building consent from us.
When we consider whether to grant or refuse an application, we pay particular attention to the desirability of preserving the building, its setting and those features which make it special. These are the things you should think about when you are planning your proposed changes.
Even if planning permission is not required, we want to make sure that new work fits in with the old.
There is no fee for listed building consent.
