Section 26D: Local listed building consent orders

Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 · 1990 c. 9View on legislation.gov.uk

Part I: Listed Buildings — Chapter II: Authorisation of works affecting listed buildings

A local planning authority ... may by order (a "local listed building consent order") grant listed building consent under section 8(1) in respect of works of any description for the alteration or extension of listed buildings.

Regulations under this Act may provide that subsection (1) does not apply to listed buildings of any description or in any area.

The consent granted by a local listed building consent order may relate—

to all listed buildings in the area of the authority or any part of that area;
to listed buildings of any description in that area or any part of that area.

The consent may be granted subject to conditions specified in the order.

Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (4), the conditions that may be specified include any subject to which listed building consent may be granted under section 16.

A local listed building consent order may enable the local planning authority to direct that the consent granted by the order in respect of works of any description does not apply—

to a listed building specified in the direction;
to listed buildings of a description specified in the direction;
to listed buildings in an area specified in the direction.

An order may in particular make provision about the making, coming into force, variation and revocation of such a direction, including provision conferring powers on the Secretary of State.

Nothing in sections 10 to 26 applies in relation to listed building consent granted by a local listed building consent order; but that does not affect the application of sections 20, 21 and 22 in relation to an application for approval required by a condition to which consent is subject.

Schedule 2A makes provision in connection with local listed building consent orders.
