Listed Building Owner Info Request

Islington Council has to give consent for Alterations, Extension or Demolition of a Listed  Building  under  the Planning Act 1990 .
You may need evidence of these consents  from the council if you ever sell your property, and of course it is a criminal offence to carry out works to a listed building without prior Listed Building Consent – even if you did not know that the building was listed.

Has any Islington Leaseholder with a listed building received copies of a Listed Building consent certificate from Islington Planning department via HFI or Partners or any of their sub-contractors for any work they have carried out?

Has any Islington Leaseholder with a property in a Conservation Area been consulted in advance or received a letter from Islington Planning department via HFI or Partners or any of their sub-contractors approving any major works they have had done by HFI or Partners?

Please let us know.
