Planning Work to a Historic Property or Site?

Practical guidance on listed buildings, heritage and archaeology

Early advice can help you understand the likely heritage requirements before designs are finalised or work begins. If your proposals affect a listed building or other heritage asset, contact your local planning authority’s conservation team and check whether pre-application advice is available.

Historic England also provides extensive guidance on caring for historic buildings and making appropriate changes.

Use the guides below to explore common questions about listed buildings, energy-efficiency improvements, archaeology and planning requirements.

When your proposals are ready, AB Heritage can provide the assessments and supporting reports needed for planning and listed building consent applications. Visit our Contact Us page to discuss your project or request a quotation.
