5. Gaining consent

Page 1 of 5 · Check planning permission and listed building consent

Project moment

The preferred proposal is a compact rear extension with limited rear-range alteration, an opening strategy, energy and service work, and garden-threshold changes.

A similar-sized rear extension to an unlisted house may sometimes be permitted development for planning purposes. That is not the starting assumption for a listed building. The team must check planning permission and listed building consent separately before preparing an application or giving the client a final programme expectation.

Your task

Separate the planning-permission question from the listed building consent question, then identify what must be checked before the application route is confirmed.

TWO APPROVAL QUESTIONS
Planning permission
• For this listed-building extension, treat planning permission as required.
• Check the scope of the development and any other relevant planning requirements or local controls.
Listed building consent
• Separately consider whether the proposed extension, alteration or other works may affect the listed building’s character as a building of special architectural or historic interest.
• Establish the information and design development needed to understand and explain that effect.
Planning permission and listed building consent are separate questions.
Planning permission for the extension does not decide the listed building consent question.
Listed building consent does not replace planning permission for the extension.

Earlier project material

Your initial view

What is the most accurate approval position for the proposed rear extension to The Old Vicarage?

It is a modest rear extension, so normal householder permitted-development rights apply.The extension requires planning permission, and the project must separately consider whether the proposed works require listed building consent.The house is listed, so only listed building consent needs checking.Every alteration to a listed building automatically requires both planning permission and listed building consent, whatever its size or location.
