The proposed regime and designated areas

The Government will restrict development facing onto and visible from a highway in all types of designated area.

Designated areas include National Parks, the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conservation areas and, in the future under legislation in the pipeline, World Heritage Sites.

If your property is a listed building separate restrictions and controls on development apply and Listed Building Consent is likely to be needed for any work to or near it.
