About the Walcot Conservation Area
The Walcot Conservation Area covers about 8.6 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Lambeth in 1968. Inside the boundary are 41 listed buildings, all Grade II. 5 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 41 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.

These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
