Catisfield Conservation Area Character Assessment

Planning Control in a Conservation Area

Conservation Area consent is required for the demolition of some unlisted buildings (It is always advisable to contact the council to confirm whether a particular proposal will require consent).

 

It is an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot or wilfully damage or destroy trees in a conservation area without the consent of the local planning authority. The local planning authority must be given 6 weeks prior notice of any works to trees within a conservation area.

 

Permitted development rights that make a planning application unnecessary for some minor alterations and extensions to dwellings are more restricted within a conservation area. You are advised to contact the council concerning proposed works to determine whether or not an application is required.

 

The detail of planning applications is carefully considered in the light of impact upon the special character of the conservation area. Applicants are encouraged to discuss ideas for development proposals with planning officers prior to submitting an application.
