SALISBURY Conservation Area (Wiltshire)

About the SALISBURY Conservation Area

The SALISBURY Conservation Area covers about 249 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 556 listed buildings (26 Grade I, 117 Grade II*, 356 Grade II). The most significant is 68, The Close, 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.
