Checklist for listed buildings
Use this checklist for internal or external alterations to a listed building, demolition or partial demolition of a listed building or demolition of a structure within the curtilage of a listed building.
This checklist is to remind applicants what they will need to provide to assist the authority in making a decision regarding planning applications.
You should include:
- plans and drawings which must show a North point, give a paper size (for example, A1, A3), and provide an appropriate Scale Bar indicating a minimum of 0-10 metres.
- a completed application form. If you submit the application in paper form, we require 3 copies of all forms, plans and documents.

The site should be edged in red and sufficient roads and buildings should be identified. It must include all land necessary to carry out the development including access from a public highway, landscaping, car parking and open areas. Other land owned or controlled by the applicant should be edged in blue.
- a Block Plan at a scale of 1:100 or 1:200 or 1:500 identifying the position of the development. The plan should include written dimensions of the development to the site boundaries and other existing buildings, access arrangements, public rights of way, position of trees, hard surfacing and boundary treatments.
