BNE13 Demolition in Conservation Areas

Proposals to demolish a building which makes a positive contribution to the character or appearance of a Conservation Area will not be permitted unless it can be demonstrated that:

  1. the building is wholly beyond repair: or
  2. it is incapable of use; or
  3. its design is inappropriate; or
  4. the character and appearance of the Conservation Area would be enhanced by its removal and replacement.

Consent will be conditional upon no demolition occurring until a contract has been entered into for approved redevelopment of the site.
