- design of buildings
- site layout
- spatial form

Poole Conservation Areas
Additional controls are applied to minor developments within certain conservation areas in the form of Article 4 Directions. These directions can control small-scale change that can gradually erode the character of a conservation area, such as alterations to windows or the creation of car parking space at the front of a property. Where an Article 4 Direction is applied, planning permission would be required for specified developments. Further details on which conservation areas are covered by Article 4 Directions can be found in the downloads areaArticle 4 Directions
Application for conservation area consent
You will need Conservation Area Consent for the demolition of an unlisted building in a conservation area. Please use our Pack Finder to identify the correct application form.
Application for listed building consent
You will need Listed Building Consent for alterations to a Listed Building. Please use our packfinder application to identify the application form you need.
If the work involves demolition of a listed building a Listed Building Application will be needed, not a Conservation Area Consent application.
You will need Planning Permission for new development and normally the Local Planning Authority will wish to ensure that an acceptable development will take place before there is any question of agreeing to demolition of an unlisted building in a Conservation Area.
