About the Orton Longueville Conservation Area
The Orton Longueville Conservation Area covers about 29 hectares and was designated by Peterborough City Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 18 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 17 Grade II). The most significant is Church of the Holy Trinity, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 63 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
