conservation area
Designated heritage district
A conservation area is a designated zone where development and alterations are restricted to preserve its special architectural or historical character.
In the UK, local authorities designate these areas to protect not just individual buildings but the overall character of neighborhoods, town centers, or villages.
The Victorian terraces in the conservation area can't be altered without planning permission.
In environmental contexts, the term may also refer to land set aside to protect wildlife habitats or natural features.
