EE6: Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest

Proposals for development within, affecting the setting of, or conspicuous from a registered park or garden will be required to:

  • Protect, conserve and where appropriate enhance the significance, character and appearance of the Park or Garden, including its setting and any special historic features;
  • Avoid subdivision resulting in new boundaries, land uses and development which fails to protect the special historical significance of the park or garden;
  • Conserve and restore existing, or where possible reinstate lost features of historic or architectural interest and/or significance, including existing trees and planting, other forms of distinctive or historic landscaping and garden features which contribute to the significance and special historic interest of the park or garden;
  • Where the Council considers it relevant, development proposals should be accompanied by an appropriate Management Plan to secure the long-term conservation of the park or garden.
