Historic Building Architects for Conservation, Extension and Additions
Historic and listed buildings have their own unique charm, often sitting within beautiful conservation areas. Local authorities have strict rules and regulations when it comes to making any alternations to these properties, including adding an extension. That's why employing a local architect can be hugely beneficial in helping ensure any changes are granted listed building consent and get passed through planning, helping you avoid unnecessary delays and expense. An architect can also help ensure you select the correct materials and design to ensure the unique charm and character of the building is maintained.
“We love working with clients to restore and improve listed buildings. We work closely with our clients to help maintain the character of the building, whilst also ensuring any changes fulfil their vision."
Lee Pittam, LP17 Design Owner
What is listed building consent?
Listed building consent is permission that is needed for any works taking place at a listed property or property in a conversation area that might affect the character of the building. This can include alternations, extensions and demolition.
Listed building consent is not the same as planning permission and is normally applied for separately to any planning permission. It is actually a criminal offense to carry out any works to a listed building without obtaining permission first.
The purpose of listing building consent is to ensure the any changes made to a building are sympathetic to the it's character and the surrounding area. No works can be started until consent has been granted, so this it's important that this is addressed at the start of the project.
