About the Reepham Conservation Area
The Reepham Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by Broadland District Council in 1972. Inside the boundary are 49 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 47 Grade II). The most significant is Church of the Nativity of St Mary With Brick Retaining Wall to the North, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 19 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
