What listing means in County Durham
Listed building consent from County Durham is required for any works that affect the special interest of a listed building — inside and out, including outbuildings built before 1948. Unauthorised works are a criminal offence with no time limit on enforcement. Inside a conservation area, demolition, side and two-storey rear extensions, roof changes, front-facing solar panels and dishes, and work to trees all need permission or notice.
The £9.99 report lists every rule that applies to your property with its statutory basis, what you cannot change without consent, penalties, and the listed buildings around you — as a dated PDF.
