Owning a listed building comes with a responsibility to protect its historic character, but it does not mean that change is impossible. Many listed properties can be sympathetically altered or extended with the correct professional guidance and consent.

At Insight Planning & Design we specialise in helping homeowners navigate the Listed Building Consent process across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. Whether you are considering an extension, internal alterations, replacement windows, or repairs to historic fabric, we can guide you through the requirements and prepare the necessary drawings and documentation.

Listed Building Consent is required for many works that affect the character of a listed property, both internally and externally. Submitting a well-prepared application with clear drawings and a properly written Heritage Statement is often the key to achieving a successful outcome.

With over 20 years experience in architectural design, planning and construction, we understand how to balance modern living requirements with the protection of historic buildings.

Where a project progresses beyond planning, we can coordinate with structural engineers, Building Control and other specialist consultants to help maintain continuity through the technical design stage.
