About the Regency Square Conservation Area

The Regency Square Conservation Area covers about 32 hectares and was designated by Brighton and Hove City Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 103 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 11 Grade II*, 91 Grade II). The most significant is The West Pier, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.

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