MALMESBURYConservation Area

About the MALMESBURY Conservation Area

The MALMESBURY Conservation Area covers about 76 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 315 listed buildings (6 Grade I, 14 Grade II*, 295 Grade II). The most significant is Abbey Church of St Mary and St Aldhelm, 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.

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

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