About the Bathford Conservation Area
The Bathford Conservation Area covers about 20 hectares and was designated by Bath and North East Somerset Council in 1981. Inside the boundary are 81 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 78 Grade II). The most significant is Eagle House and The Old Maltings, 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.
