|
|
Councils the power to designate as Conservation Areas, "areas of special architectural
|
|
or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve
|
|
or enhance". </i></p><hr/><p>
|
|
Designation gives control over the demolition of buildings and
|
|
provides the basis for policies designed to preserve or enhance all the aspects
|
|
of character or appearance that define an area's special interest.
|
|
</p><h2>
|
|
How are Conservation Areas chosen for Designation?
|
|
</h2><p>
|
|
Conservation Areas vary, ranging from historic town centres to industrial and
|
|
rural villages.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
They are designated usually because of their buildings
|
|
but they can also be designated because of their history, architecture, layout or
|
|
private spaces, such as gardens, parks and greens; trees or street furniture. Conservation
|
|
areas give broader protection than listing individual buildings and all features
|
|
within the area, listed or otherwise, are recognised as part of its character.
|
|
</p><h2>
|
|
Who designates Conservation Areas?
|
|
</h2><p>
|
|
The Council has the power to designate and it has designated areas where people
|
|
generally feel have a special character worth protecting or enhancing.
|
|
</p><h2>
|
|
What does designation mean?
|
|
</h2><p>
|
|
Within a Conservation Area the Council has extra controls
|
|
over the following:
|
|
</p><h3>
|
|
Demolition
|
|
</h3><p>
|
|
To fully demolish a building, or even parts of it,
|
|
needs Conservation Area consent. Generally we view an application from the stand point of trying to retain
|
|
the building so a b case needs to be made for its demolition. There are no
|
|
fees for this application and there is a right of appeal against refusal.
|
|
</p><h3>
|
|
Minor developments
|
|
</h3><p>
|
|
In a conservation area, you need planning permission
|
|
for changes to buildings which would normally be permitted. Changes requiring consent
|
|
include cladding a building, inserting dormer windows, or putting up a satellite
|
|
dish visible from the street.
|
|
</p><h3>
|
|
Trees
|
|
</h3><p>
|
|
Anyone proposing to cut down, top or lop a tree in
|
|
a conservation area, whether or not it is covered by a tree preservation order,
|
|
has to give notice to the Council. The Council considers the contribution the tree
|
|
makes to the character of the conservation area and if necessary it will make a
|
|
tree preservation order to protect it.
|
|
</p><h2>
|
|
What does the Council normally do in Conservation Areas?
|
|
</h2><p>
|
|
The Council consults widely on proposals affecting
|
|
a conservation area. This might include periodic enhancement schemes including proposals
|
|
to:
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
|
|
<li title="*">Prepare development briefs for sites in conservation areas;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Ensure that new buildings harmonise with their neighbours;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Make environmental improvements;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Control advertisements and shop signs;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Ensure that traffic control measures harmonise with the character of the area.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Make grants available for the repair of buildings.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul><h2>
|
|
What policies are used to control development?
|
|
</h2><p>
|
|
Our main body of conservation policy is in the Unitary
|
|
Development Plan which includes conservation policy with wider planning policies
|
|
for the area. Policies in the Conservation section generally presume against the
|
|
loss of features which add to the special interest of the areas. These policies
|
|
are used in the determination of planning applications in conservation areas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Local residents and businesses generally are fully
|
|
aware that areas have been designated and how their character and appearance are
|
|
protected.
