Making an application for planning permission in a Conservation Area or applying for Conservation Area Consent
If you live within a Conservation Area you are advised to contact Planning Control to establish whether your proposal requires planning permission.
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. 
There is no fee for submitting a Conservation Area Consent application.
Please note that in a conservation area you will need Conservation Area Consent for the substantial or total demolition of a building which exceeds 115 cubic metres (i.e. the approximate size of a large double garage) or to take down any wall, gate or fence which is greater than 1 metre high where abutting a highway or greater than 2 metres high elsewhere.
