Listed Buildings Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do emergency work to a listed building?
Emergency work can be carried out to a listed building without prior consent providing you can subsequently prove all of the following:
- That the works were urgently necessary in the interest of safety or health or for the preservation of the building;
- It was not practical to secure public safety or health or preserve the builiding by works of repair or temporary shelter;
- That the work was limited to the minimum measures immediately necessary;
- That notice in writing justifying in detail the work was given to the Council as soon as reasonably practicable.
If you are in this situation, you are strongly advised to
contact the Conservation Team to discuss the situation as soon
as possible.
