Applying for a listed building consent

The local planning authority does not require a fee to apply for listed building consent. We provide comprehensive guidance throughout the application process, ensuring clarity and support as we navigate the requirements.


We recommend that you seek pre-application advice from the local planning authority before proceeding with the main application. Seeking pre-application advice is a proactive measure that is highly effective at mitigating risk. We meet on-site, discuss and understand what they are likely to accept, and obtain detailed written feedback and confirmation of the requirements for the main application.


By addressing issues at an early stage, we can prevent unnecessary setbacks, ensure smoother progress, and ultimately minimise the risk of costly errors, enhancing the overall success of your project.
