Is an extension to a listed building itself a listed building?

[MattB83]

A family member has a conservatory which is getting on a bit now and the roof has been leaking. It was a bad design and required planning permission to put up due to the house being a listed building.

I'm assuming that any non-identical repairs to the roof must be approved by a local planning committee?

It needs planning permission but not Listed Building Consent

Planning permission for the conservatory but benefits from PD rights unless over the specified limit.

Adding a conservatory to a LB will almost always affect its character so requiring LB consent.

Check with your local council for certainty

Cheers both. Yes we will go to council. It's not the conservatory - just repairs to a leaking roof.

A neighbour for a similar building apparently needed permission to replace window frames with identical window frames...

The person owning the listed building should normally know what the listing is for, and what does and does not affect the listing - as not all works will require consent if they have noting to do with why the property was listed in the first place.

Thanks Woody. That's interesting - the requirement for the conservatory waa in relation to it's footprint.
