Listed Building Consent is required for any work that would
alter the character or appearance of a listed building. This
includes any alteration, extensions or demolition. For
general maintenance and repairs Listed Building Consent is
not usually required, provided that the original fabric of the
building is being restored, or where a restoration is not
practicable a ‘like for like’ replacement is made. A like for
like replacement should be an exact replica of the original and not
a just a mere resemblance to the original. Both the materials
and style should be matched. However, if the repairs or
maintenance would constitute as a building operation such as the
replacement of an entire roof then consent will be required.
However, advice and written approval should always be sought first
from the Planning department.
Any buildings or structures within the
curtilage or grounds of a listed building that originate from
before 1 July 1948 are also effectively listed. Therefore consent
may also be required for any works affecting features such as
sundials, garden walls and outbuildings. If you are in any
doubt whether a building is within the curtilage of a listed
building seek the advice of the Planning
department. Remember that under the Planning (Listed
Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 it is a criminal offence
to carry out works to a listed building without first obtaining
Listed Building Consent. Doing so can lead to heavy financial
penalties and even a possible prison sentence.
Precise architectural details and choice of
materials are usually very important factors when determining
applications for works that affect listed buildings. It is
therefore vital that any drawings submitted with a related
application are of a large enough scale and suitably annotated to
illustrate all relevant features. An inadequate level of detail is
likely to delay the application or result in refusal.
Existing elevation and floor plans (depending on the nature of the
application) and the proposed elevations and floor plans must be
submitted. For details such as windows, standard elevation
and plan drawings may not suffice, and it is advisable also to
submit sectional drawings of scales 1:20. For works involving
architectural mouldings such as cornices and glazing bars,
sectional drawings of these features 1:1 at scale may be necessary
to allow a properly informed decision to be made. Photographs are
often a useful and efficient way of giving an overview of the
building or structure as it currently stands. If you are
restoring a building historic photographs are a useful source to
identify original and traditional features and can be included with
your application.
