About the Westbury on Severn Conservation Area
The Westbury on Severn Conservation Area covers about 18 hectares and was designated by Forest of Dean District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 69 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 67 Grade II). The most significant is Tower and Spire, Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade I. 1 Tree Preservation Order record overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. 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.
