About the Spalding Conservation Area
The Spalding Conservation Area covers about 59 hectares and was designated by South Holland District Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 125 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 20 Grade II*, 102 Grade II). The most significant is Ayscoughfee Hall, Grade I. 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.
