About the Buckingham Conservation Area

The Buckingham Conservation Area covers about 43 hectares and was designated by Buckinghamshire Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 182 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 8 Grade II*, 172 Grade II). The most significant is Castle House, Grade I. 20 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.

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