NOTICE is hereby given that Plymouth City Council as the Local Planning Authority under the provisions of Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990, has reviewed and amended the boundary of the Hoe Conservation Area, originally designated on 4th March 1977. The revised Conservation Area was formally designated at the meeting of the Planning Committee of Plymouth City Council on 5th February 2009 as an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and is described in the Schedule attached to this Notice.

• 4 It is an offence subject to certain exceptions to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or wilfully destroy any tree in the area except with the consent of the Local Planning Authority.
• 5 The Local Planning Authority must formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of the Conservation Area.
