What repairs are you allowed carry out on a listed Building/Cottage..?
If for eg the plaster on the ceiling is not in good shape can you repair it..? or do you have to wait till it falls down?
And if the timber shows signs of rotting do you or are you allowed to scarf in a new piece ? or wait till it goes beyond repair before replacing..?
Because I understand ( well I think I do) that the idea of listed is to preserve the fabric, etc, but how can you..?
or is it a fact of life that there is decay and renewel?
Or say some plaster on a wall is sound but the rest is hanging so the sound plaster can stay on and you renew around it?
Lots of ???
