Carry out work on a traditional property

A traditional building could be:

  • a listed building
  • one in a conservation area

If you live in a traditional building you might not be able to carry out certain building or repair work.

You may need to:

  • apply for consent (permission) to carry out some building work
  • carry out repairs using certain materials

Visit the Historic Environment Scotland website for advice on:

  • listed building consent
  • conservation area consent
  • suitable materials for repairs
  • failure to maintain a listed building
  • conserving traditional buildings
