What the grade means for works
Grade II buildings are of special interest and make up over 90% of listed buildings in England. Most alterations, extensions and many internal changes still need listed building consent from the council.
The protection covers the whole building, inside and out, plus fixtures and attached structures. Typical works that need consent: replacing windows or doors, removing walls or historic fabric, changing roof coverings, installing solar panels or external insulation, and adding extensions.
