Listed Building Consent secured for a complete third-floor flat refurbishment in a Grade II listed property in central Guildford.
Planning and Listed Building Consent were secured for a third-floor flat refurbishment in a Grade II listed building on Quarry Street, central Guildford. The brief was a full modernisation that read as a sympathetic intervention rather than a strip-out.
The work was coordinated with the local conservation officer from pre-application onward, with detailed drawings showing how new services, finishes and fittings would sit alongside protected fabric.
Central Guildford has one of the densest concentrations of listed buildings in Surrey. Any internal alteration that affects historic fabric needs Listed Building Consent on top of planning — and the assessment turns on the specific significance of what's being changed, not on the scheme as a whole.
The approach that gets consented is the one that engages conservation officers early, documents existing significance honestly, and proposes interventions that are reversible and clearly modern where they need to be modern.
