About the Chipping Sodbury Conservation Area
The Chipping Sodbury Conservation Area covers about 21 hectares and was designated by South Gloucestershire Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 120 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 14 Grade II*, 105 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Grade I. 15 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, 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.
