Alteration, extension, demolition and repairs
Any works of alteration, extension or demolition, internal or

building consent.
Examples of the types of work that would require
consent
- Changing windows and doors
- Painting over brickwork
- Removing external surfaces
- Putting in dormer windows or roof lights
- Putting up aerials, satellite dishes, burglar alarms
- Changing roofing materials
- Moving or removing internal walls
- Making new doorways
- Removing or altering fireplaces
- Panelling or staircases
- Installing a gas flue
- Installing a damp-proof course
- Re-pointing in a different mortar type or style
Repair work
Repair work to a listed building does not always require consent
provided that the repairs are 'like for like' in detail, material
and construction technique. It is always advisable to check with
one of our planning officers before starting any repair work
