About the Bakewell Conservation Area

The Bakewell Conservation Area covers about 74 hectares and was designated by Peak District National Park in 1980. Inside the boundary are 161 listed buildings (6 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 153 Grade II). The most significant is Bakewell Bridge, Grade I. 2 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 153 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.

Limits for a semi-detached house under the GPDO 2015. An Article 4 direction can remove more.
