About the Burgh Conservation Area
The Burgh Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Broadland District Council in 2000. Inside the boundary are 10 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 8 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary the Virgin, Grade I. 2 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.
