Conservation Areas

Southwark Council has a legal obligation to periodically consider which parts of the borough have special architectural or historic interest, and should be preserved or enhanced by designating them as conservation areas.

Conservation area status is not just restricted to buildings. Open spaces, cemeteries, a historic street pattern or local centre can have just as much architectural or historic importance.

This web page includes the dates for the Designation (D) of a conservation area and the dates for Extensions (E).
