Is listed building consent transferable?

violasophie

I am helping a family member sell a flat that has been rented out, which is in a grade II* listed building. Two of the windows need replacing but the estate agent has advised to get it on the market and see whether the buyer wants to do the work themselves (in which case we'll negotiate on price) or whether we'll get it done while all the other sale stuff is going through.
Because it's a listed building we need to get consent if we end up doing the work, so I'm going to start this process (it doesn't look too onerous for the like-for-like replacement we would need to do but does take a couple of months). However once this is in place it will be really useful to know if this consent is transferable to the buyer, in case they want to do the work themselves. I'm finding this challenging to find out (without spending hours on hold with the council planning team) - does anyone know?

TIA

Yes, it's like any other planning consent, it's for the property and not personal to an owner.

Listed building consent will apply to the building, not to a person.

So if your family member gets consent for new windows for the building, it's fine for the new owners to fit them.

(Being pedantic, nothing needs to be transferred - the consent just continues to exist.)
