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.

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