Listed Building Consent Consultancy Services
Securing Listed Building Consent
SM Planning offers expert support in securing Listed Building Consent, a formal approval required for any works that would affect the special architectural or historic interest of a listed building. This consent is typically required for alterations, extensions, or demolition (both internal and external) even where the works may appear minor.
We prepare robust, heritage-led applications that clearly justify the proposed works and demonstrate how any impact on the listed building has been carefully considered and appropriately managed. Our team has a strong track record of achieving successful outcomes across a wide range of listed building projects.

If your property is classified as a listed building, all works that affect its fabric (internally or externally) will require Listed Building Consent, in addition to any necessary planning permission. Consent may also be required for works to separate structures within the grounds of a listed building.
If you are unsure whether your proposed works require Listed Building Consent, please get in touch. We can provide clear advice and guide you through the process from initial assessment through to submission.
Carrying out works to a listed building without the necessary Listed Building Consent can lead to issues with the local planning authority, as consent is required for works that affect the building’s special architectural or historic interest.
Where works have been undertaken without consent, the council may request that an application is submitted retrospectively to regularise the situation. In some cases, alterations may need to be reviewed or amended to address any impacts on the listed building.
To avoid delays or complications, it is always best to check whether Listed Building Consent is required before starting any works.
