Conservation Areas are protected, designated to preserve the unique characteristics of places of historic importance and architectural interest
Article 4 Directions: Outlines what you need to obtain planning permission for. These mostly cover changes you otherwise wouldn’t need planning permission to carry out
Some residential alterations you might need planning permission for in a conservation area:
- Building materials
- Tree works
- Solar panel addition
- Loft conversion
- Demolition of structures
- Change of use
- Style changes
- Window change
- Door change
The idea that it is impossible to obtain planning permission for a property in a conservation area is a MYTH. A well researched and compellingly written application greatly increases your chances of approval, and is something we confidently provide.
With applications such as this one, conservation officers, who are part of the local authority are likely to be more heavily involved in the process requiring communication and engagement throughout.
As your nominated architectural practice our top priority is getting you the approval you want.
