About the CHIPPENHAM Conservation Area
The CHIPPENHAM Conservation Area covers about 108 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 229 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 14 Grade II*, 213 Grade II). The most significant is The Ivy and the Ivy West Wing, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 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.

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