About the Evesham Conservation Area
The Evesham Conservation Area covers about 31 hectares within Wychavon District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 132 listed buildings (7 Grade I, 10 Grade II*, 115 Grade II). The most significant is 53 and 54 incorporating Remains of Abbey Gate (Abbey Gate 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.
