Listed buildings consent
Listed building consent
You'll need listed building consent for any alterations inside or out that in our opinion will affect the building's special character. It is a criminal offence to carry out work to a listed building without getting consent.
How to apply
Online: ePlanning Scotland - this lets you pay online too.
On paper using:
- listed building consent form package
- listed building consent guidance notes
- send completed forms to Planning and Building Standards Area Office - Hamilton
How much will it cost?
There is no charge for making a listed building application. However, make sure that the drawings you send us are good and clearly show in detail all the changes that are proposed.
What we will do
We consult with Historic Scotland on all applications for category A or B listed buildings and for all demolition of them. Historic Scotland is also consulted on applications which affect the setting of category A listed buildings.
Repairs to listed buildings
Repairs must be carried out using the same materials and techniques as those that were used originally. You don't need listed building consent for these like-for-like repairs. We can give you advice on suitable repairs or alterations.
For more information contact Planning and Building Standards Headquarters.
