A Conservation Area is an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.

The principal effects of the designation of a conservation area are as follows:

1. It preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the conservation area as an area of special architectural or historic interest and the means that the council is under a duty to formulate proposals for its preservation or enhancement.

2. It means that, in carrying out its functions under the Planning Acts, the council is under a duty to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of those conservation areas.

3. It provides greater control over the demolition of buildings and structures within the conservation area.

It is a criminal offence to carry out demolition in a conservation area without planning permission.

4. It provides greater control over certain external works to dwelling houses, which would otherwise be “permitted development” as defined in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.

5. It means that consent may be required for alterations, extensions or changes of use of shops, cafés, takeaways, financial services and offices etc.

6. It creates the requirement to apply for consent to carry out any works to trees within the conservation area and the requirement to provide six weeks notice in writing to the council before any such works are carried out.

It is a criminal offence to cut down, lop, top or uproot a tree in a conservation area without giving this written notice.

7. It places certain restrictions on the display of outdoor advertisements.
