Are there different planning rules for a listed building?
Buildings of particular architectural interest are often officially ‘Listed’ and thereby protected. Some residential buildings are listed Grade 2 which means that all alterations (not just those to the outside or original parts) have to be approved under Listed Building Consent. Making a Listed Building Consent application is similar to making a planning application – but with a few differences.

The process may be handled by a conservation officer within your local planning department or might be referred to English Heritage and there is no application fee.
