Colin is a Partner and a chartered architect, based in Oxford.  He provides a wide range of professional services, including design, project management and expert witness, with a particular emphasis on historic and period buildings.  He acts for private, commercial and institutional clients, including the education sector.  Colin has been privileged to work on several Grade I listed buildings of national importance, however he enjoys the variety of a wide range of project types, large and smaller.  He enjoys keeping fit and helps to run two local fitness training groups; unfortunately he also enjoys real ale!  Both interests are combined in the annual 'Lads & Dads' challenge, which involves a group of fathers and sons tackling a tough long distance walk, with frequent refreshment stops.

• Who lists buildings?

  The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) compiles the register of listed buildings, taking advice from English Heritage, Historic Scotland and Cadw in Wales.

• What is a listed building?

  A listed building is "a building of special architectural or historic interest". Buildings are listed to protect and preserve the country's architectural heritage.

• How are buildings selected for listing?

  Reasons for selection include:

  - Age
  - Architectural style
  - Examples of town planning
  - Historical interest
  - Social or economic interest
  - Innovation in the use of construction, technology or materials.

  Buildings that qualify for listing include:

  - All pre-1700 buildings in anything like their original condition.
  - Most buildings from 1700 to 1840
  - Buildings of quality and character dating from 1840
  - The very highest quality post-1914 buildings.

• How long does the Listed Building Consent process take?

  Local planning authorities aim to deal with Listed Building Consent applications within eight weeks. However, allowing time for initial consultations with the local conservation officer, along with negotiations and possible amendments during the application period, applications commonly take 10 to 12 weeks.

  The planning authority is also obliged to refer all applications affecting Grade I or Grade II* listed buildings for consideration by English Heritage, adding up to four weeks to the application period.
