WHATS INCLUDED IN THE RESTORATION OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS?

Information about Listed Buildings

When an older building requires repair or renovation, it is often required that the work is carried out with special care and attention to preserve its historic features. If the building is listed, any work carried out must be supervised by the English Heritage and local planning authority. Listed buildings are rated into three categories; Grade I, Grade II and Grade II*.

Before considering work on a listed building, it is advisable to conduct an informal discussion with the planning department. Any work that is carried out on a listed building without the relevant authorisation may result in a prosecution and a listed building enforcement notice will be served.

A Listed Building Consent Application usually takes about eight weeks to process and is valid for a period of five years. There is no charge for a Listed Building Consent Application.

Planning permission is a separate permission required from Listed Building Consent Application and other permissions may be required from the relevant listed building authorities; e.g. religious bodies may need to be informed about work carried out on churches or buildings in their ownership.
