If you live within a Conservation Area , you will be subject to additional planning controls . For instance , if you wish to substantially demolish a non-listed building in a Conservation Area then you would require a separate form of consent, known as Conservation Area Consent.

In certain Conservation Areas the Council has served Article 4 Directions, which remove the normal permitted development rights for alterations to dwelling houses such as the removal of walls, replacement of roof tiles and windows. If you intend to carry out any demolition works, other development, or if you wish to carry out works to trees in a Conservation Area you are advised to contact the Planning Section. We will clarify whether an application for Conservation Area Consent or planning permission will be required, or in the case of trees whether such works will be acceptable.

The Council's Design and Conservation Officer can be contacted on 01903 221363 or richard.small@adur-worthing.gov.uk
