Permission for listed buliding


Miammy

Recommended Posts

Hello fellow geocacher's,

 

I would like to place a nano on some railings that form part of a listed building, Where would I start to seek permission for this other than the local council?

My feeling is that I will not be granted permission so was thinking about a lamppost or similar, opposite the building or along the street, but again who would I ask permission to place there also?

 

Thankyou in advance :rolleyes:

A few suggestions I would make. The first is to take a look at the GAGB Land Agreements that are currently in place, you may find the information you are looking for is there.

 

If you primarily want to highlight the listed building through a cache placement my second suggestion would be to hide an offset multi. Cachers would visit the building to obtain information via a virtual clue there which they would work the final coordinates from. You could possibly be able to hide a nice (larger than a nano) sized cache, and wouldn't have to worry about getting permissions to hide something physical at that building.

 

I'm tired so not explaining well, but I see you are quite new and not found any multies yet so it might be an idea to try and find some of this type first to get a better idea of how you could work in something like this for you cache.

I was interested to see the GABG land agreements page, because it contains information which is going to be very useful when I start placing my own caches. But I'm puzzled. I see that one city council doesn't allow caches to be placed in any of its public parks. Yet looking at the geocaching.co.uk maps, I can see that one of the town's parks has two caches and another has four - all clearly within park boundaries. Does this mean that the COs have placed them without permission? And does this mean that they have stated, somewhere in the reviewing process, that they did have permission?

Answer to your first - Probably.

 

Answer to your second - Possibly. Although, having said that, I've only ever been asked by a reviewer if I had landowner permission when I submitted a cache for review which was located in a SSSI, off a public footpath (I didn't, and hadn't realised it was a SSSI, so gave up on that listing and retrieved the container). This particular reviewer explained to me after that that they worked on the basis that they presumed the CO had obtained any landowner permissions.

When submitting a cache you tick a box to say the cache has "Adequate permission", its the "Adequate" bit which gives room to wriggle and many cache hiders will feel that no permission is adequate in some circumstances. There are some places where the reviewer will specifically ask to see evidence of the permission, such as SSSIs mentioned above, historical monuments, and anywhere that they know/think that caches are not allowed, etc.
