Conservation Areas

Conservation areas are ‘Areas of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’ (Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990). 

Developments within a conservation area are likely to require planning permission. Details of the requirements for planning applications can be found on the Planning Portal, from where it is also possible to make an application.

Regard will be had to the conservation area appraisal and management plan when considering applications for development within or adjacent to a conservation area.
