About the Richmond Hill Conservation Area
The Richmond Hill Conservation Area covers about 67 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in 2000. Inside the boundary are 79 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 6 Grade II*, 71 Grade II). The most significant is Richmond Bridge, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
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.
