Conservation area character appraisals
The
Planning Policy team is undertaking a review of a number of the
District’s seven conservation areas with the aim of producing character
appraisals and management strategies. These will replace the existing Conservation
Area statements, which were prepared some years ago. The preparation of these
statements is in accordance with government advice in Planning Policy Guidance
15 Note (PPG15) “Planning and the Historic Environment”, taking
into account guidance produced by English Heritage.
The character appraisals will provide an assessment of the character of the conservation area and identify the features which make it special and those which detract from it. The issues identified form the basis for developing management strategies and recommendations for preserving and enhancing the area.
