Is consent required for painting?
Yes, usually. Painting the facade of a Listed Building can be a material alteration which affects its character if it obliterates features of interest of alters the proportions or balance of the building. Examples include painting over face brickwork, timbering, lettering or other details of architectural or historic importance. In such cases, Listed Building Consent is required. Where facades are already painted, consent may still be required where that painting changes the character of the building by using a different type of paint or colour scheme, e.g. heavy textured paint would require listed building consent. In such cases it is advisable to check with the Planning Services Section to confirm if consent is required.
