About the Neatishead and Hall Road, Barton Turf Conservation Area
The Neatishead and Hall Road, Barton Turf Conservation Area covers about 14 hectares and was designated by North Norfolk District Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 5 listed buildings, all Grade II. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes 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.
