Conservation and urban design planning - conservation areas: Outline
Section 69 of the Civic Amenities Act 1969 gives local 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".
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.
To find out if you are in a conservation area please refer to our online mapping service.
Information on Conservation areas can be found on the relevant pages of the Council's website
