Carrying out work to your historic building

If you're planning to carry out work on a historic property, we recommend contacting our  One Stop Shop before starting any work.

We can advise you on:

  • whether you need listed building consent
  • planning permission requirements
  • how to carry out work in a way that protects the building’s character
