About the Leominster Town Conservation Area
The Leominster Town Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Herefordshire Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 163 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 4 Grade II*, 158 Grade II). The most significant is The Priory Church of St Peter and St Paul, 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.
