About the The Prestbury Conservation Area
The The Prestbury Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by Cheltenham Borough Council in 2001. Inside the boundary are 62 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 60 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. 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.
