About the Margate Conservation Area

The Margate Conservation Area covers about 36 hectares within Thanet District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 194 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 190 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 2 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.

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.

Limits for a semi-detached house under the GPDO 2015. An Article 4 direction can remove more.

Article 4 directions here

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