About the 0 Conservation Area
The 0 Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares within London Borough of Lewisham’s area. Inside the boundary are 8 listed buildings, all Grade II. 5 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
