In accordance with Section 8 of the (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Listed Buildings require special attention when repair, restoration or renovation works are to be undertaken. Any works carried out on a Listed Building should be professionally managed and implemented to a high standard of craftsmanship.
Any (non-emergency) works carried out on a Listed Building, first require Listed Building Consent
18C FARMHOUSE – GRADE II LISTED
Owning a Listed Building in Cornwall does not necessarily mean absolute restriction or inflexibility regarding any necessary works. Historic England Planning directives will support [sympathetic] change and are realistic in their decision-making towards all appropriate Proposals. All Historic Buildings have their own characteristics, quirks and uniqueness and we, at Leslie Cornell Building Restoration Ltd, pride ourselves on identifying and preserving these fundamental values to the Historic Built Environment.
EARLY 19C TERRACE – GRADE II LISTED
As Listed Building Specialist Contractors in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, we endeavour to bring these attributes to the forefront of all appropriate Listed Building Consent Applications and Listed Building projects.
We continue to work closely with Cornwall County Council and Historic England Planning (HEP) on all aspects of our Listed Building Consent Applications and Listed Building Projects.
Granting of Listed Building Consent is of course conditional, therefore each Application [prior to submission] requires extensive detailing to be included. In most cases HEP will request a:
- Site Location Map – Available on-line
- Heritage Design and Access Statement
- Architectural Drawing/s
In addition to the above, a Bat and Barn Owl Survey may be required. We received this letter from Planning and Sustainable Development Services – Cornwall Council (March 2017). Read here...

Over the past few years it has become apparent that the knowledge of cob structures and applications of lime products on historic buildings are gaining momentum, however, too many contemporaries remain unaware of the correct and effective implementation of these specific areas of construction and application.
We liaise with Cornwall Council, Architects, Surveyors, Insurance Companies, Home Owners and other external parties to ensure Cob is correctly repaired/rebuilt and the correct applications are applied to historic buildings.
Having gained years of knowledge and experience from our numerous successful Completed Projects, all of our work is passionately implemented and carried out to the highest standard.
Our work has not gone unnoticed and we pride ourselves on our knowledge of historical building conservation in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, and hope to further educate the benefits of Cob and Lime applications in the future to all generations.
