About the Staindrop Conservation Area
The Staindrop Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares within Durham County Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 95 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 94 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, 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.
