Planning Permission
You may also need Planning Permission from North Hertfordshire District Council.
Unless your house is in the Conservation Area, Planning Permission from North Hertfordshire District Council will probably not be required for alterations to improve energy efficiency. However, if you are in any doubt call NHDC’s Planning Team on 01462 474000 to check.
Listed Building Consent
It’s best to assume that any works to change a Listed Building will require Listed Building Consent, even alterations that only affect the inside of a property. Call North Hertfordshire District Council’s Planning Team on 01462 474000 to check. Applying for Listed Building Consent is free.
