Carrying out work on a listed building

If you want to carry out work on a listed building in a way that affects its character, you must first apply for listed building consent. You may also need separate planning permission and building regulations approval.

It is a criminal offence to alter, extend or demolish a listed building without consent, and the penalties can be heavy.

For more information, and to apply for consent, please see our guide to listed buildings.
