Understanding Listed Building Consent for Internal Alterations in RBKC

When considering internal alterations to a residential property in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), it is essential to understand the concept of Listed Building Consent. This consent is required for any changes that may affect the character or significance of a listed building, which is recognized for its special architectural or historic interest.

What Is Listed Building Consent?

Listed Building Consent is a legal requirement that ensures any alterations to a listed property are carefully considered and approved by the local council. This applies not only to external modifications but also to internal changes, including the removal or alteration of walls, doors, and decorative features. The aim is to protect the building's historical integrity and preserve its unique character.

To determine if your property requires Listed Building Consent, you can consult the RBKC planning department or check online resources. If your property is listed, you will need to seek permission from the Council before proceeding with any internal alterations.
