Conservation Areas

Conservation areas are those parts of the district which have been recognised as having a special architectural or historic interest which is worthy of preservation and enhancement.

When considering planning applications for developments within them, a duty is placed on the local planning authority to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area.

Anyone intending to do works to trees in a conservation area is required to give the planning authority 6 weeks notice.
