Unauthorised work is a criminal offence

You need to be aware that carrying out unauthorised works to a listed building is a criminal offence and individuals can be prosecuted.

A planning authority can insist that all work carried out without consent is reversed. You should therefore always talk to the local planning authority before any work is carried out to a listed building.

An owner will have trouble selling a property which has not been granted Listed Building Consent for work carried out.

Changes to the way listed building consent can be granted have been introduced

A listed building or structure refers to a building on The National Heritage List. These building’s mark a special architectural and historic interest. Due to this, the planning system protects buildings for future generations. Accordingly, Structural and Civil Engineers are a vital part of the heritage industrial.
