Failure to comply is a criminal offence and can result in listed building enforcement notice, severe penalties and even prison. However, you can still make some alterations to a Grade II listed building, but this must be done with the explicit, written, consent of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planningportal.co.uk\/find-your-local-planning-authority\">local authority<\/a> who will consider the buildings function, condition, and viability against their historical significance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 91.7% of all listed buildings are in\nthis class, so it is likely that your home falls into this category if it is a\nlisted building. Thankfully, the rules and regulations are a lot less rigorous\nthan they would be for a <a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\/what-is-designation\/listed-buildings\/\">Grade\nI<\/a> listed property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/grade-2-listed-homes-1024x599.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.yopacrm.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/uploads\/2020\/04\/grade-2-listed-homes-1024x599.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.yopacrm.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/uploads\/2020\/04\/grade-2-listed-homes-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.yopacrm.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/uploads\/2020\/04\/grade-2-listed-homes-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.yopacrm.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/uploads\/2020\/04\/grade-2-listed-homes-50x29.jpg 50w, https:\/\/cdn.yopacrm.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/uploads\/2020\/04\/grade-2-listed-homes.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Above: Grade II listed homes in London<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When, and for what types of work, do you need consent?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can usually undertake general\nmaintenance and repairs to your property without obtaining prior consent providing\nit\u2019s done carefully and is in keeping with existing materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, most original fittings and even\nthe plants in the garden can be covered by listed building regulations. If you\nare in any doubt, or plan to change the building\u2019s appearance significantly,\nspeak to your local authority before making any alterations, taking the\nfollowing areas into account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Repairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the repairs will affect the character of your property, you\u2019ll most likely need to get written consent before you proceed. However, if you are using like-for-like materials, you may not need consent when it comes to minor cosmetic work such as a small paint job, sensitive repairs to sash windows, or replacing modern kitchen fittings. Either way, it\u2019s best to seek advice from the local authority to be on the safe side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Internal alterations <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The listed building status applies to your entire property \u2013 inside and outside! Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that you are immune to the rules just because your alterations are internal and cannot be seen. If you plan to change the layout of the property, remove walls, expose timber or brickwork, install double glazing, remove, or even rebuild internal features (such as panelling or fireplaces) \u2013 you must obtain written consent first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Window regulations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing the window detailing, removing, or\nreplacing historical glass panes, and changing the timber used in the original\nconstruction can considerably alter how your property looks \u2013 and these\nmodification are therefore all subject to listed building regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be tricky for you as a homeowner, since\nyou\u2019ll want to ensure your property meets modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-much-can-i-add-to-the-value-of-my-home-by-making-it-more-energy-efficient\/\">energy\nefficiency<\/a> standards, by replacing dilapidated frames or swapping the\ndraughty single window panes for double glazing. Before undertaking any of\nthese changes though, you must get written consent \u2013 a tricky but not\nimpossible task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historical England states that for windows,\nrepair is preferable to replacement \u2013 and if you can, you should use original\nmaterials and designs to retain the authenticity of the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are thinking about double glazing,\nit is almost inevitable that you will have to find an alternative such as\nsecondary glazing \u2013 since it can be very complicated to match the original\nwindow design, especially if there is stained glass involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Renovations &amp; extensions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every aspect of a renovation or extension\nwill require written consent, so it is worth consulting with the authorities\nfrom the outset. Professional advice from an architect can also be extremely\nuseful. You should look into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-do-you-find-out-the-age-of-your-property\/\">history\nof the building<\/a> too, as this might assist with your design decisions and\nplanning application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obtaining consent is not a speedy process \u2013\nyou will need a very detailed plan to convince the authorities that your\nchanges will not only preserve the original character but enhance its value and\npreserve its heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What else do you need to consider?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few more variables which can\naffect the timeliness of the process \u2013 including where you are in the UK, which\njurisdiction your building falls under, and if your property is surrounded by\nother listed buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any doubts about what is and is\nnot permissible it is always best to err on the side of caution and seek\nprofessional advice. You should also ensure that you have comprehensive and\nappropriate insurance to cover renovation and extensions to your building\nshould anything go awry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lpoc.co.uk\/\">Listed Property Owners\u2019 Club<\/a> (LPOC) was established to support owners of listed properties and Historic England produces the free <a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/images-books\/publications\/guide-for-owners-of-listed-buildings\/\">Listed Property Owners Guide<\/a>. It is also always worth seeing if there are any local or national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.find-government-grants.service.gov.uk\/grants\">grants<\/a> available for repairs to historic buildings since their maintenance is not a cheap undertaking! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"valuation-widgets\">\n    <div class=\"valuation-widgets__col\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/online-valuation\" class=\"valuation-widget\">\n            <div class=\"media\">\n    <div class=\"media__media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dy36.stage.yopa-dev.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/themes\/yopa\/assets\/images\/icon-house.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\">    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media__inner\">\n        <div class=\"media__heading\">\n            Instant online <span class=\"chevron\">valuation<\/span>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"media__content\">\n            <p>Get a rough estimate of your home's value now.<\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"valuation-widgets__col\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/property-valuation\" class=\"valuation-widget\">\n            <div class=\"media\">\n    <div class=\"media__media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dy36.stage.yopa-dev.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/themes\/yopa\/assets\/images\/icon-currency.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\">    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media__inner\">\n        <div class=\"media__heading\">\n            Face-to-face <span class=\"chevron\">valuation<\/span>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"media__content\">\n            <p>Book an appointment with your local Yopa agent.<\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a property is Grade II listed, it means the building has particular historic and\/or architectural significance, may be located in a conservation area and is subject to regulations which protect its unique character and preservation.&nbsp; These regulations govern what you can and can\u2019t do to a listed building, both externally and internally.
