About the Blickling Conservation Area
The Blickling Conservation Area covers about 1,193 hectares and was designated by Broadland District Council in 1991. Inside the boundary are 40 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 34 Grade II). The most significant is Blickling Hall, Grade I. 7 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 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
