You don't need listed building consent to change the external colour of a listed building (or its windows and doors) - unless you would like to:

  • change the finish type from lime wash, to masonry paint
  • paint a surface that has not been painted before
  • change the colour of the building where it would affect the listed building's special interest or character

Please apply to change the colour before you make any changes, so that we can confirm as to whether your proposed changes are acceptable or not.

Apply to change the external colour of a listed building

Please note that this application is only needed for listed buildings. You do not need to do this for a building in a conservation area.
