The need for listed building consent

Abstract

Considers section 7 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 concerning demolition of and alterations to listed buildings. Examines the legal meanings of the terms “demolition” and “works which may affect character” and the distinction between them by reference to appropriate court cases. Concludes that the difficulty surrounding Listed Building Consent, evidenced by the number of court cases, shows a need for clearer advice to be presented to those with a legal interest in listed buildings.
