The Conservation and Design section can offer general advice regarding, for example, how to care for a listed building and which works require listed building consent, and the use of appropriate materials within conservation areas.
If you have any queries, please call 01727 866100 and ask for the Conservation and Design Team or email them at: planning@stalbans.gov.uk
In addition, the Council has produced guidance leaflets on a variety of subjects, which you may find of assistance.
PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment is the Government's guidance on the Historic Environment, to be read together with PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment - Historic Environment Planning Practice Guide.
Advice is also available from the external organisations listed on the right-hand side of this page.
