Do I need Listed Building Consent?

It is important to consult with your local planning authorities if you have any uncertainties relating to the listing status of a building, as it is a criminal offence to carry out any works without the correct consent. 

‘Special interest’ of a listed building may relate just as heavily to the layout of the building as it does the appearance. When considering works, bear in mind that all fixtures in land-law terms are included in the listing.; this includes any object fixed to the building that would be included in the sale of a property.

*NOTE any building within the curtilage of the primary building named on the listing that pre dates 1948 (or potentially 01/01/1961 for listed entries that pre-date) are also protect by the listing given it is fixed to the land and is ancillary to the primary building.
