Carlisle has a fascinating history with several historic towns and villages. We have 19 conservation areas and over 1500 listed buildings. Our Conservation Officers can provide guidance and advice about conservation areas and listed buildings in Carlisle District on 01228 817195/6 or email lpc@carlisle.gov.uk.
As well as conservation areas and listed buildings, Carlisle has one area, Stanwix, subject to an Article 4(2) Direction. This is a means by which the City Council can control various types of minor development usually, but not always, within a Conservation Area. The purpose of the Direction is to bring under planning control certain types of alterations to dwelling houses which normally would not require planning permission.
