If you own a property that's within a conservation area, you will be subject to more planning restrictions than usual.
Even if your property or building is not a listed building, it may have interesting features.
These features might be traditional materials, or local building details. You building may also belong to a group of buildings which together, have a special visual quality.
This means that it will be both visually and financially rewarding to take care with any alterations that you make.
These alterations could include changes to:
- the roof
- walling materials
- doors or windows
- colour schemes
Please remember that once an interesting feature has been lost, it may be impossible (or very expensive) to recreate it.
