EB1 Conservation Area & its Setting

Proposals for infill development within the Eaton Bray Conservation Area, as shown on the Policies Map, and its setting will not be supported, unless they pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing its character and appearance.

All proposals in the Conservation Area should:

  • Reflect any common characteristics of buildings in the immediate locality in terms of building heights, scale, massing, roof form, plot arrangement and materials
  • Avoid obstructing significant views from within the Conservation Area to the open countryside.
  • Retain any existing mature trees and hedges in the public realm, with no exception being made for obtaining a new road access or its visibility splay
  • Not undermine or obstruct views to or the setting of any heritage asset

All proposals in the setting of the Conservation Area should acknowledge the significance of their location in contributing to the character of the Conservation Area.

Proposals to redevelop the garage land off Park Lane, as shown on the Policies Map, will be encouraged in order to enhance the character of the adjoining Conservation Area.
