Apply for consent to work on a listed building

Minor repairs and maintenance which use traditional historic materials to match the original work do not normally need consent, such as:

• small areas of repointing
• small areas of rendering
• smaller areas of plasterwork
• replacing individual lost roof tiles or damaged bricks
• thatch maintenance
• in situ window repairs
• secondary glazing (as long as it doesn't require changes to window frames or shutters, and dividing bars align with any existing window bars)

However, consent may be required where repairs:

• are extensive or structural
• involve alteration
• introduce or change materials
• affect the building’s character
