Listed buildings

Even though a building is listed you can still make authorised changes to it. Keeping a building in continuous use is often the best way to make sure it survives. Being on the list protects against demolition and unsuitable alteration.

You must get listed building consent if you want to -

• demolish
• add or extend, including conservatories
• put in new or replacement features such as -
  • doors
  • windows
  • gutters
• use new roofing materials
• clean, render and paint external walls
• remove internal or external features such as -
  • chimney stacks
  • fireplaces
  • floors
  • walls
  • decorative plasterwork
• work on boundary walls, railings or other garden structures

If you carry out any work which affects the special character of a listed building without consent, you are committing a criminal offence. You could face a fine or imprisonment and have to reinstate the building to its former state.
