Conservation Areas

The Parish of Minchinhampton contains Conservation Areas of in the centre of Minchinhampton town, Box and Amberley, and also shares the Industrial Heritage Conservation Area in Brimscombe valley. Below is a pdf map showing the parish conservation areas.

The Conservation Area in Buntingford stretches along the High Street from the Fire Station in the south to Vicarage Road in the north. Whilst it really covers only the buildings on the west side it does stretch up Baldock Road to Meeting House Lane and halfway along Norfolk Road. On the east, the boundary follows Pigs Nose before going further east and then northwards across the fields before returning along Wyddial Road to the Bridewell. Please visit the Clerk's Office to view the whole map.

The Conservation Area is very important and imposes a number of additional controls within it. These include:
- all property extensions including conservatories
- TV and satellite aerials
- tree work
