About the Hadleigh Conservation Area

The Hadleigh Conservation Area covers about 65 hectares and was designated by Babergh District Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 227 listed buildings (4 Grade I, 25 Grade II*, 198 Grade II). The most significant is 62-66, High Street, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

Limits for a semi-detached house under the GPDO 2015. An Article 4 direction can remove more.
