DC68: Conservation Areas

The character or appearance of Conservation Areas will be preserved or enhanced. Planning permission for development within a Conservation Area will only be granted where:

It does not involve the demolition of a building that makes a positive contribution to the character or appearance of the area
It preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and is well designed
It does not involve the loss of trees which contribute towards the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
In the case of Gidea Park Conservation Area, it ensures that all subdivision of plots particularly within the 1911 Exhibition and Competition housing areas result in plot sizes similar to those of surrounding properties.

The revision of boundaries of existing Conservation Areas and the designation of additional Conservation Areas will be based on the Heritage SPD.
