Check your address against Kingston's three heritage registers — designated, listed, or inside a conservation district — and what each one means before you change anything.
Loading the latest information…
Kingston keeps three heritage registers, and which one your address is on decides whether you need permission before you change a window, repair the masonry or take down a shed. Type the address and this checks all three — the City's own layers, read live.
This reads the register. It does not decide anything
Each district has its own plan, and the plan is what a permit is judged against — including which small jobs need no permit at all. The City sends the plans out on request rather than publishing them.
