Protected buildings
District councils must consider preservation of protected building character when implementing Building Regulations, and may allow special consideration for compliance work that would otherwise unacceptably alter the building's character or appearance.
District councils have a duty to take account of the desirability to preserve the character of protected buildings when carrying out their functions under Building Regulations. Therefore, where work is to be carried out to a protected building to comply with Part F or any other Part of the Building Regulations, special consideration may be given to the extent of such work for compliance where it would unacceptably alter the character or appearance of the building. Protected buildings are defined in Article 3A(2) of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 (as amended).
