The scope of restoration depends upon the need, and other circumstances, such as the status of the building, and the affordability of the work required.
The choice to restore or replace are often based on cost, complexity and convenience, as well as maintaining the historical aesthetics of building. Arundel Joinery over 25 years of experience working on domestic and commercial restoration projects.
We can provide a complete design service down to the choice of paint ensuring that the works provide a long term solution to the restoration project.
Article 4 Restoration
The aim of these controls is to encourage good design, and quality restoration for a ‘like for like’ repair. Such repair work does not require planning permission. If you wish to undertake alterations you should check with the Council’s Development Control Section and inform your architect, solicitor, and builder that you live in a Conservation Area and that Article 4 is in place. If inappropriate alterations take place without planning permission, enforcement action may be taken.
Works to Listed Buildings would also need Listed Building consent for any alterations which may affect the character of the building.
