The council do give themselves consent because they are the planning authority. If you read the planning regulations there is an exemption for the local authority to not need to give itself planning permission in a conservation area. It is a pointless waste of money going through a process it decides on anyway.
HBC has applied for permission to themselves many times but they do odd things all the time.
