Conservation area character appraisals

What is a conservation area character appraisal?

Change within a conservation area is inevitable.

The purpose of the appraisal is to define the;

  • historic (and by implication, archaeological),
  • architectural,
  • natural components,

of the conservation area that are important and contribute to the area's character.

Factors to consider

The principal aims of character appraisals are to define:

  • What influences have given the conservation area its particular character.
  • What reflects this character and what is most worth conserving.
  • What has suffered damage or loss and may need reinstating.
  • Areas that may be improved by redevelopment.
