Regulations for Restoring Historic Buildings

If you are planning to restore a heritage building, you first need to check if it’s a “listed building,” which means it has special historical importance. Listed buildings have stricter rules, and you need special permission, called Listed Building Consent, to make any changes. This ensures that any work done respects the building’s original character. Local councils also help guide the process and make sure the rules are followed.
