About the Mayfield and Coggins Mill Conservation Area
The Mayfield and Coggins Mill Conservation Area covers about 56 hectares and was designated by Wealden District Council in 2017. Inside the boundary are 87 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 81 Grade II). The most significant is Middle House Hotel, 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.
