About the HUNTINGDON Conservation Area
The HUNTINGDON Conservation Area covers about 202 hectares and was designated by Huntingdonshire District Council in 2007. Inside the boundary are 119 listed buildings (5 Grade I, 8 Grade II*, 106 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. 205 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.
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.
