Extending a listed building necessitates obtaining both extension planning permission and listed building consent. Planning permission deals with design, use, and context, while listed building consent focuses on protecting the building’s historic significance. Both types of permissions are processed through the local planning department. Applying for listed building consent involves various stakeholders, including bodies like Historic England or Cadw, which assess the impact on heritage. Engaging with experts and using appropriate materials is crucial for a successful extension.
Listed building consent is about protecting the historic or architectural significance of the building, inside and out. It's separate from standard planning permission and is needed for any work that might affect that special character.
Sometimes you'll need both consents, sometimes just listed building consent, but the key difference is the focus: planning permission deals with use, design, and context; listed building consent focuses on heritage impact.
