St Leonards Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan
St Leonards Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan
Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural and historic interest which should be preserved or enhanced. Although conservation areas mean some extra planning controls and considerations, these exist to protect the historic and architectural elements which make the place special. The aim in exercising these controls is to ensure that what makes the area special is not harmed by proposed changes. They are most likely to affect owners who want to work on the outside of their building or any trees on their property.
We have been reviewing 10 of the conservation areas within St Leonards, and have produced a draft St Leonards Conservation Appraisal and Management Plan (CAA). The draft CAA provides a description of the historical development and significance of the area and important features that may be worthy of protection.
The draft document proposes the merger of these existing conservation areas into a single conservation area together with possible extensions. The appraisal process has also helped inform the proposed Management Plan, which sets out steps that might need to be taken to maintain the special interest of the area.
Consultation
Views on the draft St Leonards Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (CAA) were sought from 29 October until 10 December 2018 and a drop in session held on 20 November. The consultation documents are available below for information only as consultation has now closed.
