Keeping the Ladbroke area special​

Listed buildings & article 4 directions

There are about a hundred listed buildings in the Ladbroke area, for which almost any change reqires planning permiission, including changes to the interior. There are good details of listed buildings on the RBKC website (with a brief description and photograph for each) at www.rbkc.gov.uk/planning/listedbuildings/listedform.asp.

In addition, most other buildings in the area are subject to one or more “Article 4” directions, which mean that planning permission is required for changes to certain features (most commonly front doors and windows; walls and fences; and rear elevations of buildings backing onto a communal garden) which would normally be “permitted development”. Rather confusing information on buildings subject to Article 4 Directions is at:

www.rbkc.gov.uk/planningandbuildingcontrol/heritageandconservation/policies/articleivdirections.aspx

 The table below indicates which streets are in the Ladbroke Conservation area and gives what we believe to be a full list of listed buildings and buildings subject to Article 4 directions. The information is taken from Council documents, but we cannot guarantee that it is up-to-date, especially as regards Article 4 Directions. So please check with the Council by calling 020 7361 3012 for full details of individual buildings. The dates reflect the date that the listing or Article 4 Direction was made.
