How to apply for listed building consent
The listed building consent process is very similar to the planning process and, for most cases, it will take about eight weeks to process an application.
Advice to owners or developers and their professional agents is an important part of the listed building consent application process and the our Buuilding Control service is available to discuss your proposal before you submit your application.
Advice can be given on appropriate alterations and extensions to historic buildings. Except for the most simple applications, it is advisable to employ an agent who is familiar with our policies and procedures.
If you are in any doubt, you should check with our Building Control service as to whether planning permission or listed building consent is needed before starting any work to a listed building.
