About the Great Barrington Conservation Area
The Great Barrington Conservation Area covers about 109 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 62 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 56 Grade II). The most significant is Barrington Park, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, 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.
