Conservation areas

Conservation Areas are areas of which the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. They can be anything from small rural hamlets to historic town centres, they are designated by the local planning authority.

The character can be derived from a whole variety of features - historic street patterns, the use of characteristic building materials or architectural styles, the relationship between buildings and open spaces, the presence of important trees. Conservation Areas can also be designated to protect areas which have a particular historic importance.
