Conservation Areas
What is a Conservation Area?
Conservation Areas are places of environmental quality and
interest. This could be a mix of uses, historic layout of
property boundaries and thoroughfare, characteristic materials,
appropriate scaling and detailing of contemporary buildings, the
extent to which traffic intrudes and limits the pedestrian use of
spaces between buildings, vistas, the quality of
shopfronts, street furniture, and hard and soft surfaces - the
quality of townscape in its broadest sense.
Additional planning restrictions apply within these areas to
ensure that special regard is paid to preserving and enhancing
their character or appearance.
