About the Ulverston Conservation Area
The Ulverston Conservation Area covers about 62 hectares within Westmorland and Furness Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 132 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 131 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, 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.
