- How do I get planning for a listed building? In this video Rion talks about the processes involved in gaining listed building consent for renovations, additions or alterations to a listed building.
It is very much a case of working sympathetically with the Listed Building to achieve planning consent
Hi Ron i have a grade 11 listed building. It's an existing shop. Do the planners allow us to put in place the appropriate RSJs to make the shop bigger?
H Antonios thanks for your message - What parts of the building are listed? Have you started conversations with your conservation officer yet?
Hi the whole building is listed. We r still in the process with the solicitors to complete the purchase.
If the entire building is listed you'll need listed building consent for any changes as well as planning permission. Critical to do this before any work is carried out. A pre-app is often a good idea.
How much harder is it to get permission on a Grade 1 listed building compared to a Grade 2?
Good question, really depends on the scale and nature of the work being proposed. Each project and the proposed alterations will be considered individually by the conservation officer.
My house was listed in 1985, 90% of it is not original. How can this be possible?
What tends to happen is that newer additions become part of the listing. When obtaining planning permission you need to get listed building consent - in that process the architect will document and detail all the elements of the building and assess which parts are new and which are original and will grade them in terms of their historic importance. Usually changes to the newer parts is easier but not always. What kind of house is it you own?
@@tthsarchitects2782 I own a cottage that used to be 2 houses. Unfortunately the house wasn't listed IAW the guidelines, 90% of the house was rebuilt circa 1970 and it was listed in 1985. Historic England's general principles are for houses dating between 1700 - 1850 is that most buildings retain a significant proportion of their original fabric. This is not the case with my house and it was carelessly listed.
@@stutyboy1 Was it rebuilt using original construction techniques to match existing or using modern methods?
@@tthsarchitects2782 Modern methods, the stone roof was lowered and replaced with a slate roof. The rear wall is now made of red brick, all the internal walls are hollow with the exception of two. The front stone wall has been rebuilt and re-modelled to remove one door and add extra windows. The upper floor is made of reclaimed floorboards. It's nonsense to try to impose 1810 building techniques on a 1970's house.
@@stutyboy1 Got it that makes sense - why is the listing causing you problems?
