Unauthorised work on listed buildings

Carrying out unauthorised works to a listed building is a criminal offence and individuals can be prosecuted. It is therefore important you discuss any works you wish to do to your building before starting.

A planning authority can insist that all work carried out without consent is reversed. You should therefore always talk to us before any work is carried out to a listed building.

You will have trouble selling a property which has not been granted listed building consent for work carried out.
