What restrictions come with its Grade II listing for renovation?
Changes to a Grade II Listed Georgian property are strictly controlled in order to conserve the historic and architectural interest of the property. Any changes that you are proposing, whether internally or externally, are likely to require Listed Building Consent from your local authority. You will also be responsible for ensuring compliance with these modifications. Undertaking changes to Listed Buildings or works without consent can have serious benefits.
Any change to the original architectural features of a historic building, including but not limited to fireplaces, sash windows, decorative plasterwork, doors or doorframes, ceiling height, or roof materials, will always require Listed Building Consent. The removal or replacement of historic building materials almost certainly requires explicit, written consent from the local authority.
