Summary
Metal railings and a gate have been put up at the front garden of 11 Victoria Street, a listed building in Aberdeen city centre. Because the property is listed, any changes — even minor ones — need the council's special consent. This application asks for permission after the work was already done. The property sits in a busy part of the city centre, surrounded by schools and places of worship. St Margaret's School for Girls is a couple of minutes' walk away. Harlaw Academy is also a couple of minutes' walk. A place of worship stands right next door. Around 65 properties are within 200 metres. As a retrospective application, the council will decide whether the railings and gate suit a listed building. If permission is refused, the owner could be required to remove them.
What you can do
Anyone can comment on this application using reference 260219/LBC on Aberdeen City Council's planning portal. The council can only consider matters relevant to listed building consent — chiefly the impact on the building's historic character and appearance — and cannot consider unrelated matters such as general neighbourhood amenity. If the works are found to be harmful, enforcement action may require the owner to remove them.
