Understanding Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings
Preserving the unique character of our towns and villages is essential. Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings are designations created to protect areas and buildings of special architectural or historic interest. But what do these designations mean for homeowners looking to upgrade their windows and doors.
A Conservation Area is an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.” In these areas, local planning authorities may place restrictions on developments that could negatively impact the area’s unique character.
A Listed Building is a building that has been recognised as being of special architectural or historic interest. Listing doesn’t prevent change, but it does mean that listed building consent must be obtained for any alterations that might affect the building’s special interest. This ensures that changes are carefully considered and don’t harm the building’s historical significance.
Please note, you should always obtain planning permission from the Local Planning Authority before commencing work.
KP Glass & Windows have a dedicated area in their showroom to display the exclusive collection of R7 and R9 heritage windows, talk to the team in person and view for yourself the authentic alternative to timber windows.
