We are advised to review our conservation areas periodically to
ensure that we have up to date appraisals which define the areas
special interest. We are currently preparing conservation
area character appraisals and management plans for all conservation
areas.
The purpose of appraisals are to:
- make sure that the our policies are protecting the character of
an area
- provide a basis for making informed decisions about development
that may affect the character of a conservation area
- identify enhancement opportunities
The appraisals are not intended to be comprehensive and the
omission of any particular building, feature or space should not be
taken to imply that it is of no interest.
Each character appraisal will:
- identify the area's special interest and character
- review the conservation area boundaries
- review the need for additional planning controls
- establish a measurable built environment baseline to allow
re-survey so that changes over time can be accurately identified,
measured and the management plan can be adjusted
- make recommendations in a management plan to make sure the
area's special qualities are kept and enhanced
We will adopt as approved guidance each character appraisal and
management plan and they will be a material consideration when
making planning decisions and considering other changes affecting
the area to make sure that the areas special character and
appearance is not harmed.
