Conservation Area

St Petersburgh Place falls within the Bayswater Conservation Area.

The conservation area status of Bayswater means that Westminster City Council takes special care to protect and enhance the quality of the area. Before carrying out new building works or alterations to existing buildings, whether listed or not, property owners have to submit detailed plans to the Council to obtain planning permission. The Council considers carefully whether the plans harm the appearance or the character of the conservation area and consults more widely than in non-conservation areas.

Although many privately owned trees are already protected by Tree Preservation Orders, trees in conservation areas are additionally protected. Any work on trees requires a Council licence.

This protects the sycamore and holly trees in the front of the building and the lime, purple leaf plum, cherry and sycamore trees in the back garden.
