About the Eastgate and St Michael's Conservation Area
The Eastgate and St Michael's Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by Gloucester City Council in 1968. Inside the boundary are 17 listed buildings, all Grade II. 35 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 11 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
