Listed Building Consent

Working with listed buildings requires sensitivity, technical understanding, and a deep respect for heritage. We provide specialist architectural services for listed buildings, guiding clients through the listed building consent process with clarity and confidence.

Our approach balances heritage preservation with modern functionality, ensuring proposals meet statutory requirements while enhancing the long-term use and value of the building. We liaise closely with conservation officers, planners, and heritage bodies to deliver well-reasoned, compliant applications.

We support alterations, extensions, internal changes, and adaptive re-use — from early feasibility through to consent approval.

Category A Listed Buildings

Category A listed buildings are of national or international importance, requiring the
highest level of care and justification.

 

We provide:
• Detailed heritage impact assessments
• Conservation-led design proposals
• Sensitive alteration and restoration strategies
• High-quality drawings and supporting documentation

 

Our work focuses on minimal intervention, reversibility, and architectural integrity,
ensuring proposals preserve the building’s exceptional significance while allowing for
appropriate contemporary use.

Category B Listed Buildings

Category B buildings are of regional or more than local importance, often allowing
carefully considered adaptation.

 

We assist with:
• Internal and external alterations
• Extensions and reconfiguration
• Change of use within heritage constraints
• Conservation officer engagement

 

Our designs respect original character while introducing practical, well-integrated
solutions that meet modern standards without compromising heritage value

Category C Listed Buildings

Category C buildings are of local importance, offering greater flexibility while still
requiring thoughtful design.

 

We provide:
• Listed building consent applications
• Sensitive upgrades and refurbishments
• Modern interventions aligned with character
• Clear planning justification

 

Our approach ensures proposals enhance usability and longevity while maintaining the
building’s contribution to its local context.
