Planning application

55 Clerkenwell Close, London, EC1R 0EA

Awaiting decision Islington P2026/2377/LBC Listed Building

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Request to add a lead capping to the external cornice at the very top of our house, as advised by our surveyor. Our cornice is failing due to prolonged exposure to the elements, and would benefit (after a like-for-like refurbishment) from this protection. This lead capping would run across the length of our external cornice, where the house looks out onto Clerkenwell Close - as our neighbours at the Crown Tavern already have installed. The lead capping will not be visible from ground level, and would be unlikely to be conspicuous from a height as the facade is already painted in a grey tone.

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
