About the Holt Town Conservation Area
The Holt Town Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by North Norfolk District Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 108 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 107 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of St Andrew, Grade II*. 9 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
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.
