We are in a conservation area. The house had iron railings at the front until they were removed during the second war. We wanted to put them back, and the council said no.
It didn't matter the house used to have them. The conservation order went in during the seventies, and the house has to stay looking as it did at the date of the order. They say.
The neighbours put theirs back anyway, and the bloke over the road has put solar panels on his roof, (explicitly forbidden). I can only assume it will bite them when they move, if at all, as nothing else has happened.
