Conservation Areas
What is a Conservation Area?
Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural or
historic interest. Each historic area has a distinctive identity
that is the blend of landscape, buildings (including materials and
traditions) and economic activity.
The local character gives people a sense of belonging and
community. Designating an area as a Conservation Area is about
appreciating the fabric, history and character of the area
and therefore what makes it special.
The designation of Conservation Area brings additional
responsibilities for the Council and changes the amount and nature
of development that can be carried out without planning
permission.
For more information and guidance on building in conservation
areas please refer to our Living in a
Conservation Area webpage.
