Conservation areas

Demolition in a conservation area

You will need to apply for Conservation Area Consent for demolition if you wish to demolish:

  • a building in a conservation area, the total volume of which is over 115 cubic metres or;
  • a wall over 1 metre high fronting onto a highway or open space, or over 2 metres elsewhere

Planning permission forms for demolition in a conservation area 

When we get the application we will look at the architectural or historic interest of the area by the building, and the effects of demolition on the surroundings and on the conservation area as a whole.

Planning permission may also be needed. Contact planning@penlde.gov.uk if you are unsure whether you need to apply.
