    It is as I suspect they are not what is clearly stated on the listing document - but to it is up to local conservation officers and planning officers to use their common sense and discretion

    From EH -
    How will listing affect me?

    Listing is not a preservation order, preventing change. Listing is an identification stage where buildings are marked and celebrated as having exceptional architectural or historic special interest, before any planning stage which may decide a building's future.

    Listing does not freeze a building in time, it simply means that listed building consent must be applied for in order to make any changes to that building which might affect its special interest. Listed buildings can be altered, extended and sometimes even demolished within government planning guidance. The local authority uses listed building consent to make decisions that balance the site's historic significance against other issues such as its function, condition or viability. Find out more from our Planning Advice page.

    If you have a listed building you can check the exact details of the listing document via http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/protection/process/national-heritage-list-for-england/
