Listed Building Reminder on Enforcement
You are reminded that no work should commence on implementing this Listed Building Consent until all matters, samples, and details reserved by condition have been submitted to, and approved by, this local planning authority. It is an offence to carry out work to a Listed Building unless all such conditions have been complied with. Any proposed departure from the works specified in the approved drawings should be brought to the attention of the planning department for further consideration before the work is carried out. The Council will use its enforcement powers, including use of Breach of Condition Notices or Prosecution, to ensure compliance with conditions and prevent harm to the special historic character and historic interest of Listed Buildings. You are advised that there is currently a maximum fine of o20,000 if the offence is dealt with summarily, and if the offence is dealt with by indictment the fine is unlimited.

Retain Original Fabric of Building
You are reminded that the original historic fabric of the listed building should be retained unless specifically authorised for removal by the Council as part of a listed building consent. Historic fabric which must be retained would include lath and plaster ceilings and walls, floor boards, original skirting boards, dado rails, cornice, fireplaces, staircases, and any other surviving historic fabric. Where these elements are in poor condition, repair and restoration could be undertaken by competent workmen, with the minimum amount of intervention to the historic fabric. You are reminded that the installation of recessed ceiling lights and speakers in most cases will require listed building consent. Any proposals for these particular works must be first approved by the Council as part of a listed building consent before they are installed within the listed building. Use the following link to see how advice can be obtained: Planning Advice Service Advice can be sought if a problem has occurred during consented works, but it is clearly preferable to seek advice at as early a stage as possible.

Hidden Features
This consent does not cover the removal or alteration of any currently hidden features of architectural or historic interest that may be revealed during the course of building works; removal or alteration of any such features may well require listed building consent. ÿ

7)

Repointing etc - May Require Consent
The re-pointing and cleaning of external walls may require listed building consent. The appropriate mortar mix, profile and colour of the re-pointing are crucial in preserving or re-introducing the original appearance of the building and in turn its special architectural or historic interest and heritage significance. It should be also noted that inappropriate mortar mix and pointing profile can lead to future deterioration of the brickwork. The mortar mix should match the original construction mortar of the building with regard to the grading of the aggregate, finish and colour. The original mortar mix would always be lime based. Cement started to be used in the 19th century, however its setting capacity was similar to lime and much weaker than the cement used today. The pointing profile should always match the original profile. Where the original pointing no longer exists, the re-pointing profile should be flush pointed slightly recessed off the arises. Guidance on how best to re-point your building can be obtained by consulting the Council's Conservation Officer through our advice service: Planning Advice Service

8)

Mortar Mix
The appropriate mortar mix, profile and colour of pointing are crucial in preserving and enhancing the character and appearance of buildings in conservation areas and other areas of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Inappropriate mortar mix and profile can lead to future deterioration of brickwork, and weatherstruck pointing should normally be avoided. Guidance on how best to re-point your building can be obtained through our planning advice service: Planning Advice Service

Advice on Restoration
The Council will be pleased to advise on matters relating to the restoration of architectural features such as cornices and mouldings. Please seek the advice of the Directorate of Planning and Borough Development in this regard: Planning Advice Service
