About the MANTON Conservation Area
The MANTON Conservation Area covers about 8.4 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1985. Inside the boundary are 12 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.
