Conservation area reviews and character appraisals
There are currently a number of conservation area appraisals available, which are material to the determination of planning applications.
An up-to-date appraisal of each conservation area will demonstrate the area’s special interest and character, providing a clear explanation to owners, businesses and residents.
Conservation area management plans
Once a conservation area is designated, we have a duty to preserve and enhance its character.
Regularly reviewed appraisals, identifying threats and opportunities, can be developed into management plans promoting beneficial change.
Conservation area appraisals
Part of the review process includes the creation of conservation area appraisals. These documents will give an overview of the history and development of each conservation area, defining what it is that makes it special. The community will be consulted as part of this process.
When adopted, conservation area appraisals will be material to the determination of planning applications.
They are also useful as educational and informative documents, expressing what the community particularly values about the place where they live and work.
This greater understanding of an area’s character can be used to guide those considering investment in an area to a better understanding of suitable scale, form and content of new developments.
