LISTED AND OTHER HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Separate from planning control all physical works (including some repair works) to a listed building require consent. Unauthorized works may be a criminal offence. Where any works are proposed to a listed building professional advice must be taken before any are carried out. Proposed physical alterations or a change of use are a very sensitive issue. We have a particular expertise in this field and coupled with our building surveying expertise can advise client's on the preferred solution and secure the necessary consents.
