About the MARLBOROUGH Conservation Area
The MARLBOROUGH Conservation Area covers about 44 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 234 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 9 Grade II*, 223 Grade II). The most significant is C House, 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.

Article 4 directions here
These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
