About the Coggeshall Conservation Area
The Coggeshall Conservation Area covers about 64 hectares and was designated by Braintree District Council in 1968. Inside the boundary are 187 listed buildings (8 Grade I, 16 Grade II*, 163 Grade II). The most significant is Abbey Mill, Grade I. 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.
