This policy requires that any development:
- preserves the appearance and setting of the asset
- is sensitive to its character and contribution to the local area
Making changes to a locally listed building
Certain works to a locally listed building may be carried out under permitted development rights. However, where planning permission is required, any proposals must demonstrate a clear respect for the building's historic character and significance.
