    02The brief

    What the council's listed building page asks for

    Newham's guidance names the works that need consent: windows, doors, dormers, rooflights, roofing materials and internal walls. Put simply, most works to a listed house in Newham need consent (LBC for most works).

    On demolition and harm the council is blunter. It will not allow changes that damage special character or structural stability, and it can order a building put back as it was. Our drawings therefore show each original feature and mark what stays, so a repair does not read as a removal.

    06The detail

    When a repair and a change belong in one application

    A leaking roof, a rotten sash and a plan to open up the ground floor often arrive together. Filed as separate jobs, each can undercut the others, because an officer sees the repair as removal of fabric and the change as more of the same. One drawing set that says which timber is mended, which is replaced and which is new lets the officer judge the house once.

    We start with a measured record of the existing fabric. That record is what lets a repair and a change sit side by side on the same sheets.

    Grades, the risk register and the designed landscape

    In Newham the list runs to 4 entries at Grade I, 6 at Grade II* and 115 at Grade II. The Heritage at Risk Register adds 21 entries inside the borough boundary, and these can be churches, parks and industrial sites as well as houses.

    The council publishes 9 conservation areas. Another 2 scheduled monuments and 2 registered parks and gardens touch the borough. Newham's data also records an Article 4 direction on HMO conversions (C3 to C4), which concerns use, not alterations to a listed building.

    For the neighbouring east London picture, see the listed building consent drawings page for Redbridge.

    Decisions, cost and the offence

    In the latest government planning statistics return Newham decided 11 listed building consent applications to alter or extend, and 100% were granted. The sample is small and describes the past, not your application.

    The national fee table shows £0 for the consent itself, so your cost is the drawing work. Doing the work first is a different matter. Works without consent: up to 6 months' imprisonment or a fine on summary conviction; up to 2 years or a fine on indictment.

    Questions

    Can I repair a listed window in Newham without consent?

    Like-for-like repair of the same material and detail may not need consent, but replacement of a window does, because windows are on the council's list of works needing consent. Send us a photograph and the address and we say which side of the line it falls.

    What if my building is on the Heritage at Risk Register?

    The register is Historic England's, and an entry flags condition, not a planning limit. It does not change the consent test, and we draw any repair and any alteration together so the two never contradict each other.

    Is there a fee to the council for listed building consent in Newham?

    The national table shows £0 for the consent. What you pay us is a fixed quote, given after a free constraints check, because the price follows how much of the building the work touches.
