A conservation area is an area of specific architectural or historical interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.
Certain features, virtues and qualities characterise an area. These can include buildings of specific historical significance, materials in keeping with a given period in time and fine detailing and workmanship of special architectural interest. Windows give a property character and grace and make a huge visual impact. An inappropriate window will easily spoil the character of a property and detract from the traditional features trying to be preserved.

You can check with the local planning authority if you are not sure.
