About the Wotton-under-Edge Conservation Area
The Wotton-under-Edge Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares within Stroud District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 173 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 4 Grade II*, 168 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, 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.
