Conservation Areas
Conservation areas are part of the familiar and cherished local
scene. It is the area as a whole, rather than specific buildings,
that is of special interest. The Council has a legal duty to
designate conservation areas.
What are the effects of designation?
Building works and alterations in Conservation Areas are subject
to extra planning controls. Some of the key requirements for works
in a conservation area are listed below:
- You will need Conservation Area Consent to demolish a building
in a conservation area
- You must give 6 weeks notice, in writing, before carrying out
any work to trees in a conservation area
- You will need to demonstrate that any development proposal
preserves or enhances the character and appearance of a
conservation area
- You may need to apply for planning permission for works that
would not normally require permission, such as dormer windows or
satellite dishes. If you are in any doubt as to whether you need
planning permission contact the duty planning officer on 020 8430
2000
- The council also has greater control over advertisements and
signs
