About the Cawthorne Conservation Area
The Cawthorne Conservation Area covers about 21 hectares and was designated by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 36 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 35 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
