You are advised that all references to any blinds are understood to refer to internal window dressing only, and that there are no plans or proposals at this time for external blinds, which are likely to require both listed building consent and planning permission and may not be favourably received due to their likely impact upon the appearance of the building.

Care in Listed Buildings
All works should be completed with particularly great care in listed buildings as they are a finite resource and harm may be permanent. All works should be carried out in accordance with your approved plans and conditions and making good should be carried out in matching traditional materials and methods. Care should be taken to protect historic features from damage or theft during the works.
You are reminded that the original historic fabric of the listed building must be retained unless specifically authorised for removal by the Council as part of your 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, doors, architraves, windows 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, recessed speakers, installation of hard surface flooring, air conditioning and CCTV 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.
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. Please use the Council's pre-application advice scheme - www.rbkc.gov.uk/advice

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

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.
