The Historic Buildings team answer planning enquiries about how a planning application might affect a special (listed) building or conservation area. We advise owners and local authorities on the materials and methods needed to protect and repair our local historic buildings.

We also distribute County Council grants that help Leicestershire business and home owners to repair and restore their historic buildings.
