But your situation is too urgent for the internet to solve unfortunately. You need to phone the planning office at your local council and make sure you lead on the phrase ‘listed building’ - if you make it about access and consent they will tell you it’s not their problem and to go hire a lawyer.

Good advice
VM are known for just "going ahead regardless" they wanted to dig up land in the front my house, when i asked them what they were doing they said it was Council land and they had permission, I asked to see the permission and they couldn't find it. I showed them a copy of the Land Registry map for my property which clearly shows the land is mine.
