HeritageCheck

Is your property in a conservation area?

Use the free HeritageCheck postcode checker to locate a postcode against published conservation area boundaries in England, Scotland and Wales. No signup is required.

Understand the result

The checker shows the conservation area name and data source, a boundary map and nearby listed-building records. It checks the postcode's representative point, rather than every building sharing it. Confirm the exact property with the council, particularly near a boundary.

Read our step-by-step guide to checking the exact property.

What does the report add to the free check?

The free checker locates a postcode against conservation area boundaries and shows nearby listed buildings. It is a quick first check across Great Britain.

The report starts with your selected London address, brings together available heritage, planning and EPC records, and gives you the sources and gaps in one PDF to keep or share.

  • Location: free check — Postcode point; paid report — Selected property address.
  • Heritage information: free check — Conservation area and nearby listed buildings; paid report — Heritage designations, Article 4 information and council sources.
  • Property history: free check — Not included; paid report — Available published planning applications and EPC records.
  • Format: free check — Result and map on this website; paid report — PDF to view online, download or share.
  • Coverage: free check — England, Scotland and Wales; paid report — Eligible properties in Greater London.

Coverage varies by source. A missing record is not proof that no restriction or application exists. The report explains what still needs checking with the council; it does not grant planning permission or replace official searches.

Published data, with its limits

HeritageCheck uses published boundary and heritage records. A missing record is not proof that a restriction does not exist, and a result does not grant planning permission. Read how we use the data or report a problem.
