Berkeley Conservation Area (Stroud)

About the Berkeley Conservation Area

The Berkeley Conservation Area covers about 22 hectares within Stroud District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 129 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 124 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary the Virgin, 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.
