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.
Chris Briere-Edney, an ILA member suggests a response to the “Notices of Proposal to enter into a long term agreement ” letter from HFI.
The deadline to respond is the 9 July.
The ILA Newsletter 4 features articles on issues that affect Leaseholders relationship with their landlord (LBI) , their managing agent (HFI), their rights as a leaseholder, and notes of interest e.g. “Why are Leaseholders bills so high”
