Port Sunlight Local Listed Building Consent Order was ADOPTED at Planning Committee 26th November 2015
Wirral Council and Port Sunlight Village Trust have worked in partnership, with the financial support from Historic England, to develop a Local Listed Building Consent Order (LLBCO) for Port Sunlight to streamline the consent process for residents, to more effectively manage change and to regain lost heritage features in the village.
The following works are included in the Port Sunlight LLBCO:
Replace severely deteriorated or inappropriate
- Yard gates
- Rear doors
- Rear windows
Install or relocate a satellite dish in an appropriate location.
The LLBCO is now live and ready to use.
