Repairs\u00a0not\u00a0affecting the\u00a0character or appearance\u00a0do not\u00a0require consent, but alterations do.\u00a0It\u2019s a good idea to check with your local planning authority if in doubt.\u00a0Authentic repairs, using the same materials (or as near as possible) would include painting if the original was painted. Painting something that had never been painted before would be an alteration requiring consent, which would be unlikely to be granted. Repairing broken stones by concealed stainless steel bolts or using glue would generally count as a repair, as would, stitching together broke cast iron plates. Total replacement of the stone or the metal plate would be an alteration, but if what was left at the end was merely a replica (which would not be listable), then strictly speaking consent for demolition of the original would be required (unless it had been demolished in a road traffic accident), or a request made to remove the list entry.<\/p>\n<p>Should the milestone be Listed?<\/p>\n<p>Listing provides a \u2018snapshot\u2019 of the milestone in place at a point of time. It\u00a0is designed to protect our built heritage\u00a0and can be a helpful tool to both deter and detect\u00a0theft because the milestone can be provenanced. There is no obligation on the owner to look after a listed item but\u00a0to ensure that it is not altered without appropriate permission. If the milestone is \u2018at risk\u2019 and you want to provide more protection, perhaps from a property developer, you can find guidance and application forms on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\">https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing<\/a>.\u00a0It is a relatively straightforward process but you will need to submit a\u00a0fully\u00a0detailed physical description, its history, clear photographs and accurate map references because the Historic England inspector will not make a site visit. And if you are planning to restore a non-Listed milestone, delay any listing application until after the work is completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it Listed?
