All house prices in City of ChesterIs a home in City of Chester likely to be in a conservation area?
Cheshire West and Chester has not published conservation area boundaries, so we can't give a figure for this area.
In a conservation area you usually need planning permission for work that would be allowed elsewhere, such as cladding, side extensions, some roof changes and demolishing most buildings, and you must give the council six weeks' notice before cutting back or felling most trees. Some areas have extra Article 4 rules, for example on replacing windows or doors. Check with the council before you buy.
