About the Horncastle Conservation Area
The Horncastle Conservation Area covers about 37 hectares within East Lindsey District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 114 listed buildings (6 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 106 Grade II). The most significant is Roman Wall, Grade I. 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.
