Area Regulations

A reminder to all residents in the Village Conservation Area that particular planning restrictions apply to your property. Your Parish Council encourages all residents of our village to be aware of these rules which help to retain the individual character of the village. We recommend that you contact GBC Planning if in any doubt about work that you wish to carry out on your property.

In summary, the restrictions impose the requirement for approval for extensions that exceed a 10% volume increase. They also restrict changes to the external view of a property such as the provision of hard surfaces, roof changes, installation of satellite dishes, changes in the colour of doors, gates, fences, tiles, timber and the exterior painting of previously unpainted surfaces etc. and importantly the protection of trees.

• The alteration, installation or replacement of doors and windows.
