Grade 2 means you cant alter the outside of the building at all...however you can alter the inside...
However if your not experienced in development I would recommend you stay well clear...

Baza, still to the usual bog standard properties, as planning permission for redisential can be hard enough, let alone for any kind of listed building

Seen a house which is grade 2. Its a bomb site and needs gutting. Do they give you any leeway ? i.e lower ceilings, floorboards , windows? i know they make you take the windows back to thier original state , but what if they are beond repair?
I just thought id try on here before i give planning a call this afternoon

without being offensive, the fact you are asking on here suggests you have no experience doing it and if that is the case it is a bad idea TBH

they wouldnt necessarily know.....
it becomes a problem when you then try to sell the property....the purchaser's solicitors will ask for the planning permission for all the work done and you won't be able to provide it.
You can do the work and then write to the Council asking for a letter of comfort, which basically means that they wont do anything about the work that you have done, but they may not necessarily agree to give you one

Out of interest how would they know? if i did it within reason. obviously everything externally would be left. but inside?

Pain in the arse to do.
If there are any detailed ceilings with cornices etc. then I doubt you will be able to do anything with them. When plastering walls etc. you have to use original techniques and materials.
I would say as far as windows are concerned then they would have you get ones made that replicate the original ones.
You cant really go about changing anything (there are exceptions, depends what it is that you want to do). Basically only allowed to put it back to its original state. Expensive and awkward, always consult planning office as you have to jump through hoops with everything on a listed building!

if you havent done any developing work do not go near it. will end up way over budget and time scale, listed building come with lots of different restrictions and clauses
