Conservation areas
Conservation refers to buildings, streets and areas that are protected because of their landscape, heritage, architectural, archaeological or biodiversity value.
The Council has six conservation areas.
- Hoddesdon town centre
- Broxbourne
- New River
- Wentworth Cottages
- Wormley
- Churchgate
The Council has an approved programme of characterisation appraisals for its conservation areas. The first appraisal was for the Hoddesdon conservation area. You can view it as a PDF file. It will help developers to take account of heritage issues when preparing planning applications.
You can visit the Historic England website for further information on conservation areas.
