Policy ENV51:

The Council will oppose the demolition of any listed building, in whole or in part, or of any structure within the curtilage of a listed building which contributes to the character of that building and will resist any proposals which detract from the setting of a listed building and in considering any proposal to alter or extend a listed building, will have regard to the desirability of preserving the building and its setting.

Policy ENV52:

Proposals to change the use of a listed building will be acceptable only where this would be essential to secure its preservation and future maintenance, where the new use would not adversely affect the fabric or character of the building or its setting, and where this would not conflict with other policies in the Plan.
