Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas

The conservation of our man-made and natural environment plays an important part in planning within North Somerset.

We have 35 Conservation Areas and around 1250 Listed Buildings across the district protected under planning guidelines to preserve their special architectural and historical features.

In both cases this protection extends to their internal and external features and, in some cases, their surroundings.

This does not mean you cannot alter these buildings or places but you will need to carry out any changes sympathetically to preserve their conservation features.

In these cases you have to apply for consent from us before carrying out any work.
