About the East Tilbury Conservation Area
The East Tilbury Conservation Area covers about 31 hectares and was designated by Thurrock Council in 1993. Inside the boundary are 10 listed buildings, all Grade II. 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.
