How Listed Building Consent works in Hammersmith and Fulham, when you need it, and how to get a sensitive design approved.
Yes. Hammersmith and Fulham has hundreds of listed buildings, particularly in Hammersmith Grove, Brackenbury Village, Fulham Palace Road, Parsons Green, Walham Green. Listed Building Consent is required for any work affecting character — internal or external.
Planning permission concerns the visual and use impact on the surroundings. Listed Building Consent concerns the heritage value of the building itself — fabric, features, character. Most listed-building works need both.
8 weeks statutory, but with conservation officer and Historic England consultation, expect 12–16 weeks. Grade I and Grade II* always involve Historic England.
Detailed measured survey, existing-condition drawings, proposed drawings, Heritage Statement, materials specification, and a justification for every change. Photographs of every affected feature.
No. Listed status protects internal features as well — period plasterwork, joinery, fireplaces, staircases. Removal without consent is a criminal offence.



Pick a slot that suits you. No obligation and no sales pressure, just straight answers on your planning route.
Every Hammersmith and Fulham postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a listed building consent application there. Hammersmith and Fulham fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not listed building consent application estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a listed building consent application |
|---|---|---|---|
| SW6 | Fulham / Parsons Green | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | Fulham / Parsons Green sits wholly inside SW6, so Hammersmith & Fulham Council validates every listed building consent application submitted from an SW6 address. |
| W6 | Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | A listed building consent application at an W6 address in Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village is determined by Hammersmith & Fulham Council under its own Local Plan policies for Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village. |
| W12 | Shepherd's Bush / White City | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | Shepherd's Bush / White City sits wholly inside W12, so Hammersmith & Fulham Council validates every listed building consent application submitted from an W12 address. |
| W14 | West Kensington / Barons Court | Victorian and Edwardian villas | W14 straddles a boundary: West Kensington / Barons Court addresses fall to Hammersmith & Fulham Council or RBKC Planning, so confirm which authority validates the listed building consent application before submitting W14 drawings. |
| SW10 | West Brompton / World's End | Georgian and Victorian terraces, listed buildings | West Brompton / World's End is split at SW10. Either RBKC Planning or Hammersmith & Fulham Council can determine a listed building consent application here, so the SW10 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
