Conservation Areas

The Council has a duty to periodically review its conservation areas and if necessary amend them due to changing circumstances.  A five year review programme has been started for the District's many conservation areas.  Community involvement is essential in understanding the special nature and different issues for each conservation area and new appraisals are given a period of public consultation.

Draft appraisal documents are available to view in two ways. You can view or download the documents on this website and email us your comments via the comments form.  Alternatively copies of these documents are available to view, with a comments form, at the Planning reception within the Council offices in Corks Lane.

The draft documents will be available in phases.  The following Conservation Areas have already been consulted on and are adopted as Non Statutory Supplementary Planning Guidance:
