About the WARMINSTER Conservation Area
The WARMINSTER Conservation Area covers about 44 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 171 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 10 Grade II*, 160 Grade II). The most significant is Portway House, Grade I. 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.
