# The Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2015, Rule 4.5: Consultation with Historic England, amenity societies and the local planning authority in certain cases


(1) Consultation with Historic England must be undertaken if works or other proposals—
(a) involve the demolition of a grade I or II* listed building or its alteration or extension to such an extent as would be likely to affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest;
(b) comprise the complete demolition of a grade II listed building or the removal of all, or a substantial part, of the structure of its interior (including any principal internal elements such as staircases, galleries, load-bearing walls, floor or roof structures and major internal fixtures such as pews, screens and organs); or
(c) are likely to affect the archaeological importance of any building or of remains within the building or its curtilage.
(2) Consultation with each national amenity society which has an interest in works or other proposals must be undertaken if they—
(a) involve demolition of a listed building of any grade or its alteration or extension to such an extent as would be likely to affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest; or
(b) involve demolition affecting the exterior of an unlisted building in a conservation area.
(3) The question of whether a national amenity society has an interest in works or proposals is to be determined by reference to the age of the building (or the relevant part of it) and the likely effect on it of the proposals.
(4) Consultation with the local planning authority must be undertaken if works or other proposals—
(a) involve demolition of a listed building of any grade or its alteration or extension to such an extent as would be likely to affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest;
(b) are likely to affect the archaeological importance of a building or of remains within the building or its curtilage; or
(c) involve demolition affecting the exterior of an unlisted building in a conservation area.
