Conservation areas

Conservation areas are designated for their special architectural and historic interest and are designed to protect the buildings and trees that come within them.

There are 21 conservation areas within Broadland and 52 within South Norfolk.

There are many different types including:

  • parts of our historic towns and villages
  • 18th and 19th-century suburbs
  • model housing estates
  • country houses set in their historic parks

Consultation

The Council has recently consulted on two conservation area appraisals for Hedenham and Howe, with a proposed boundary change for Hedenham.

This consultation has now closed, however following the consultation it is proposed to revise the current boundary for Howe Conservation Area. 

We would welcome your thoughts on this revision. This further consultation on the proposed revised boundary for Howe will run from 5 February until 26 February 2024.
