Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas
Navigating Special Designations with Blue Sky Elevation Design
Owning a listed building or property within a conservation area comes with the privilege of preserving a piece of history. However, it also involves additional considerations when embarking on renovations or alterations. At Blue Sky Elevation Design, we specialise in navigating the unique planning permission process for listed buildings and conservation areas.
What are Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas?
- Listed Buildings: Recognised for their architectural or historical significance, listed buildings are protected by law. Any alterations or work that might affect the character of the building requires listed building consent from your local authority.
- Conservation Areas: Designated areas that maintain a specific architectural style or historical character. Conservation area consent is typically required for any demolition or significant alterations within these areas, even for unlisted buildings.
Do I Need Listed Building Consent or Conservation Area Consent?
Our team can help you determine the specific requirements for your project. Here’s a general guideline:
- Listed Buildings: Any alterations impacting the building’s structure, internal layout, or external appearance likely require listed building consent.
- Conservation Areas: Demolition of any building (listed or unlisted) or significant changes to the street scene within a conservation area might necessitate conservation area consent.
