Making a Conservation Area Application

What do I need to know in order to make a planning application?

If you live within a Conservation Area there are various criteria which you need to be aware of in order to make a planning application.

Conservation area consent can be obtained at the same time as making a planning application, or you may just need to apply for conservation area consent only (504KB) (link opens in a new window). There is no fee for submitting a Conservation Area Consent application.

Please note that in a conservation area you do not need consent to demolish a building which does not exceed 115 cubic metres or to take down any wall, gate or fence which is less than 1 metre high where abutting a highway, or less than 2 metres high elsewhere.
