Conservation
South Wiltshire has almost 3,000 listed buildings and 70 conservation areas.
In addition to the regular planning controls, special conservation area consent is required for certain external works to buildings within a conservation area, including demolition and also some works to trees.
If you wish to demolish, alter or extend a listed building in a way that affects its character, you must have listed building consent, which may be in addition to any other necessary consents such as planning permission or building regulations.
The council also designates new conservation areas and is currently reviewing the existing areas through a series of conservation area appraisals.
You may find it helpful to read the frequently asked questions and useful leaflets and links or to use the search below to find out if a particular building is listed or in a conservation area.

West
The district contains almost 4,000 listed buildings, which reflects the historic nature of its settlements and landscape. These are published on the Statutory Register of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. These registers are managed by the Department of Culture Media and Sport.
Some of these buildings are of great national importance, and all are considered to be of special architectural or historic interest. Internal or external alterations, which affect the character of a listed building, require written consent from the Council before they can take place. There is a presumption against the demolition of Listed Buildings and penalties exist for undertaking work to a listed building without consent.
Owners of listed buildings have a responsibility to keep them properly maintained, and the Council has a power to act to ensure the preservation of a building if this is not being done. Click here for a guide on Listed Buildings.
Historic Listed Buildings make a vital contribution to the life, appearance and character of the District, and the Council is committed to ensuring that this is maintained.
Information on Listed Buildings is also available from English Heritage.
