St Albans has 19 conservation areas, centred on the medieval core around the Abbey and streets such as Fishpool Street, where Georgian townhouses sit alongside Victorian and Edwardian housing. Many of these areas carry Article 4 directions, meaning even minor external changes require planning permission.
A short distance away, Harpenden’s town centre conservation area protects its Victorian and Edwardian character, including distinctive Arts and Crafts properties along the High Street. We work to the correct lime mortar specification across St Albans, Harpenden and the surrounding towns and villages.
