Listed buildings

Conditions of a listed building

A listed building should be kept in good repair because it is part of England's heritage. Usually if you carry out like for like repairs using matching materials and design you will not need listed building consent.

If a listed building is not kept in good repair, we can serve a repairs notice. This is to specify the work needed to bring the building up to a reasonable condition with a time limit. If you own an unoccupied listed building, we can serve an urgent works notice and carry out works ourselves to make a building safe and weatherproof. We can then charge you for the cost of the works and professional fees.
