Quote: Adey, Are you allowed to do much to a 400 year old house. How does the Heritage stuff work when you are looking at altering old houses.
Not everything that old is listed. Rooflights are usually OK though - even on listed stuff or in conservation areas / areas of outstanding natural beauty.
Depends on stupid planning guidlines and the individual officer on the day sometimes. I got planning permission once for a conservatory on a castle!
