Listed building and conservation area consent application checklists

Submission checklists for applications to alter, extend or demolish a listed building or works to demolish a building within a conservation area

All plans should be titled, include the site address, have a drawing number and revision number where applicable.

Please ensure that all 'Do Not Scale' disclaimers that may be on your plans or drawings are removed or reworded e.g. 'scale for planning purposes only' or 'do not scale for construction purposes'.  You should be aware that we may need to scale from your drawings if the accuracy of the development is questioned after completion.  We will expect the development to be carried out in accordance with the approved planning drawings.

Due to copyright laws, if the drawings or plans you plan to submit have been drawn by an agent who is not going to act on your behalf as part of the planning application process, you should provide written confirmation from them confirming that you have permission to use the drawings for this application. 

Please note that you may also require planning permission, a building warrant and/or vehicular access consent (VA1)
