Planning Application

What this application is

Because the building is listed, any works that affect its special interest — external elevations, internal features of interest, curtilage structures — need consent in their own right. The council will weigh this application against the significance of the building as recorded on the National Heritage List.

Any work that affects the character or special interest of a listed building — inside or out — needs Listed Building Consent. This is separate from planning permission and both are often applied for at the same time.

The applicant's own description is: Provide new fibre optic Ethernet service to 1st floor comms room. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 17 September 2026.

If you want to respond

Historic England is consulted on Grade I and II* buildings. Objections tend to focus on the impact of the proposed work on features that give the building its historic interest.
