About the East Holme Conservation Area
The East Holme Conservation Area covers about 36 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 10 listed buildings, all Grade II. 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.
