conservation area

památková oblast

Although All Saints is not a listed building , it lies within a conservation area so that any proposal to demolish it would have been subject to same scrutiny as plans for the demolition of a listed building. (BNC)

The law defines conservation areas as "areas of special architectural or historic interest , the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance". (BNC)

Owners will usually see the value of their property increase and it is often a selling point in estate agents' particulars that a house stands in a conservation area. (BNC)
