About the Henbury Conservation Area
The Henbury Conservation Area covers about 47 hectares and was designated by Bristol City Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 76 listed buildings (10 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 61 Grade II). The most significant is Blaise Hamlet Vine Cottage, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 25 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, 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.

These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
