HC9 Demolition in Conservation Areas

The Council will only grant consent for the demolition of a building in a conservation area where the building does not make a significant contribution to the character and appearance of that area, or where the redevelopment proposal preserves or enhances that character or appearance. Any consent may be subject to:

  1. planning permission having already been granted for the redevelopment of the site; and,
  2. a legal agreement that the building is not demolished before a contract for the redevelopment of the site has been made.
