Frequently asked questions

What is a heritage planning application?

Heritage planning applications cover works to protected buildings and areas — including listed building consent (for works to listed buildings), conservation area consent (for demolition in conservation areas), and scheduled monument consent. These require separate specialist consent on top of any planning permission needed.

How long does a heritage planning application take?

Heritage applications typically take 8 weeks, but complex applications affecting significant listed buildings or scheduled monuments may take longer. Historic England is a statutory consultee on many heritage applications, which can extend the process.

Yes — Planning Signal lists all heritage planning applications from UK councils, updated daily. Search by your postcode and set up free email alerts to be notified when new heritage applications are submitted near you.
