How Should I Approach Renovating a Listed Building?

Image
We all know that there are many Listed Buildings Applications in UK , but how easy is it to make improvements to one when it's your home? While a listing does not prevent an owner from making improvements to their property, it does limit their options. If the owner of a building wishes to make changes to its external look, structure, or historical design, authorization from the local historical planning authorities/committees is required. When an application is sent in, it is important to remember that the local planning authorities will look at not only the building's listing status but also how it is used and how it is in shape. Of course, you can make alterations to your property without obtaining permission or installing a permanent fixture. For example, if you want to update your patio or terrace, you can install a decking system that can be put on top of the current cover without making a lot of other changes.

The council's Affordable Homes Team built the £2.0 million project in Sarn. It was the first social housing built by the local government in 15 years and the first ever to meet the strict Passivhaus standards. The homes were built by Pave Away Building Contractors. They were designed by kenmorganarchitects with help from Passivhaus experts PYC from Welshpool and consulting civil and structural engineers Bradley Associates Ltd. from Cardiff. The seven power homes, which were a mix of bungalows with two bedrooms and two-bedroom and three-bedroom houses, were built using low-energy methods and had gree
