121 The Management of Conservation Areas

The following measures will be used, where appropriate, to ensure the protection and enhancement of conservation areas:

  • directions under Article 4 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 1995;
  • the preparation of general policy statements and design guidance for conservation areas;
  • the promotion of environmental enhancement schemes for conservation areas; and
  • the sensitive application of building regulations where the character of a building in a conservation area will be adversely affected by normal methods and standards (unless this would be prejudicial to public safety).
