About the Peckham Hill Street Conservation Area
The Peckham Hill Street Conservation Area covers about 6.0 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Southwark in 2011. Inside the boundary are 6 listed buildings, all Grade II. 2 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
