Notice is hereby given that in accordance with section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Doncaster Council did, on 18 October 2022, and after public consultation, amend and adopt the Conisbrough Conservation Area Boundary.

The review of the conservation area boundary considered whether the areas were of special architectural or historic interest, and that it is desirable to preserve or enhance its character or appearance. All properties previously within the designated conservation area, and not listed below, remain within the conservation area designated as of 1974.

The amendments include:

a. Inclusion of Conisbrough Methodist Church on Chapel Lane

b. Inclusion of rear gardens/backyards of properties on the northern side of Church Street (1-49 (odds) inc. Castlegate apartments and Excelsior Court)

c. Inclusion of properties on Wellgate (4-9 (continuous) and Church Farm Lodge) and Wellhead, Wellgate

d. Inclusion of The Dale on Dale Road

e. Inclusion of the boundary walls on the northern side of Dale Road of properties (Chebara, Sandal Shoan, Ancaster, Castlereagh and 19-25 Dale Road (odds) and 3 Ferry Lane)

f . Inclusion of The Castle Mill Business Centre (formerly known The Castle PH), Minney Moor Hill

g. Exclusion of properties on March Gate (Ruston View, The Hollows and Brooklands) and Conisbrough Motor Company on Sheffield Road

h. Exclusion of properties on Old Road (1 and Conisbrough Library), Properties on Church Street (63-81 (odds) and 46-62 (evens)) and 1 and 2 North Cliff Road

i . Exclusion of the garden to 2 Castle Street

j . Exclusion of The Bungalow, Burcroft Hill

k . Exclusion of properties on the north side of Doncaster Road (72-82 (evens))

The principal effects of being included within a conservation area are as follows:

1. The Council is under a duty to formulate and publish plans to ensure the preservation or enhancement of the area.

2. Planning permission must be obtained from the Council for the demolition of any building over 115 m3 in the area. It is now a criminal offence to carry out demolition in a conservation area without planning permission.

3. Special publicity must be given to planning applications for development in the conservation area.

4. In carrying out any function under the planning acts (and, in particular, for determining applications for planning permission and listed building consent) the Council and the Secretary of State are required to take into account the desirability of preserving and enhancing the character and appearance of the area.

5. Six weeks' notice must be given to the Council before works are carried out to any tree in the conservation area.
