Making applications for Trust Consent

If you want to apply to the Trust Council for Consent to carry out works to your property, whether building or garden, you must send sufficient information, in accordance with the check list on the application forms.

This should include:

• three sets of drawings showing the property as it is now and what is intended to be done to it. These should indicate how the proposals will affect neighbouring or adjoining houses;
• full elevations to 1:100 or 1:50 scale;
• for details such as windows and doors, 1:10 or1:5 drawings with clear constructional information;
• a block and location plan at 1:250 showing all the surrounding properties.

It would also be helpful if you could provide photographs illustrating the character of the property, particularly the parts which would be affected by the proposals.

The Trust Architect (who is prepared to give informal advice) should be contacted at the earliest stage on all aspects of development. This is important as the preparation of full plans may be costly, and consultation may prevent later difficulties and delays.

The Trust office will advise on what is required to submit an application. A fee is charged depending on the size of the project and the amount of work likely to be involved. This fee contributes to the administrative costs of processing applications.

Please submit applications for Trust Consent to:
