Listed Building Consent is required where it is proposed to
demolish, extend or alter internally or externally any Listed
Building. This may include painting, repairs, etc.

Development Services direct.
1. Plans
Four copies of all plans are required. The plans must include:
(i) Site/Location Plans. A4
Ordnance Survey extracts can be obtained from this office for
£17.00. These are required so that the property can be accurately
located in the department's records. The plans should not be less
than 1:2500 scale and the boundary of the application site
must be edged red. Any other land in the applicant's ownership or
control must be edged blue.
(ii) Detailed
drawings. Wherever possible drawings, of not less
than 1:100 scale should accompany your application. These should
indicate precisely which building(s) or part building(s) are to be
demolished, the finished ground levels and materials used, etc.
Note: where it is proposed to carry out redevelopment of a site you
must, where planning permission for the new development is
required, submit an application for consent at the same time. This
will help to reduce delay in dealing with your application.

Listed Building Consent in a local newspaper and display a notice
on site for 7 days. The Authority must wait 21 days after the
advertisement has appeared before the application is decided.
