The United Reformed Church Other denominations (including Calvinistic Methodists/Presbyterians, Unitarians, Independents/Congregationists (and Baptist Chapels where either Baptist Union is not a trustee) are subject to full planning and listed building control. What are the legal responsibilities of owners of listed buildings? Most owners and occupiers recognise listed buildings as part of our heritage and are pleased and proud to maintain their properties. Owners of listed buildings have responsibilities for their upkeep and repair which are described under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Where it appears to the National Park Authority that the building is not being properly maintained, it can serve a notice (Building Repairs/Urgent Works Notice) on the owner requiring necessary works to be undertaken within a specific time. Listed buildings that are deliberately neglected by their owners can ultimately be compulsorily purchased by the council and minimal compensation paid. If the property is unoccupied, the Authority can undertake the works to protect the building itself and then recover the costs from the owner. These measures are seen as last resorts by both the Welsh Government and the National Park Authority and it is hoped that through constructive dialogue they will be rarely necessary. Can a building be de-listed? The Welsh Government is prepared to review listings in the light of new evidence. There is no formal appeal procedure, but owners or others who believe that a listing should be reconsidered should send the evidence to Cadw, together with photographs of the building and a location plan. The evidence must relate only to the special architectural or historic interest ascribed to the building. How do I obtain listed building consent? Application forms for Listed Building Consent are available from the Development Management Section at the address on the back cover of this leaflet or can be downloaded from our website. Listed Building Consent will normally be required in addition to Planning Permission, although no fee is required for Listed Building Consent. The
