Policy information sourced from City of London Smithfield Area Character Summary and Management Strategy SPD

This character summary and management strategy provides an understanding of the significance of the conservation area by identifying and analysing its principal characteristics. It does not include specific detail about every building and feature within the area, and any omission from the text should not be interpreted as an indication of lesser significance. The character summary and management strategy has been prepared in line with the English Heritage document Understanding Place: Conservation Area Designation, Appraisal and Management (2011).

This document was adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document to the City of London’s LDF Core Strategy on 18 September 2012. It should be read in conjunction with the Core Strategy, saved policies from the City’s Unitary Development Plan and other guidance, including Conservation Areas in the City of London, A General Introduction to their Character (1994) which has more information on the history and character of the City.
