Durrington Conservation Area Appraisal and Management PlanConsultation DraftPart 1: IntroductionBackground to the appraisalThere are seventy conservation areas in Salisbury district covering historic settlements and smallvillages. A conservation area is described in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas)Act 1990 as “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance ofwhich it is desirable to preserve or enhance”.Conservation areas are designated by the local authority and designation is the recognition of anarea’s special qualities, which the council intends to safeguard as an important part of the district’sheritage. It is the accumulation of an area’s positive architectural or historic attributes, rather than thequality of its individual buildings, which makes it worthy of conservation area status. The attributesmight include: the landscape setting of the area; the grouping of traditional buildings and theresultant spaces and sense of enclosure; the scale, design, type and materials of the buildings; historicboundaries; public realm; landmarks, views and vistas; and the present and former pattern ofactivities or land uses.Conservation area designation allows for strengthened planning controls, gives protection to trees,and provides control over the demolition of unlisted buildings.Planning policy contextThe local planning authority is required by the legislation to periodically review their existingconservation areas. An appraisal of each area is therefore required in order to identify the particularattributes that make each conservation area special. Guidance is provided to the local authority incarrying out this task in the English Heritage publication Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisalsand its companion document Guidance on the Management of Conservation Areas, both publishedin August 2005.There is also guidance from central government in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15: Planning andthe Historic Environment (1994), which advises that the local authority should formulate and publishproposals for the preservation and enhancement of its conservation areas. This is achieved byproducing management plans for each conservation area.Salisbury District Council has encapsulated the broad principles of the government guidance in itsexisting local plan policies (policies CN8-CN17). This will shortly be reviewed as the council starts toproduce new policies through the local development framework. Planning applications that affect thecharacter of the conservation area should be considered on their individual merits, in the light of theLocal Plan policies, and taking into account all other material considerations. The appraisals andmanagement plans are used to guide and inform the decision-making process.Purpose and scope of the documentConservation area appraisals and management plans are seen as the first steps in a dynamic process,the aim of which is to seek the preservation and enhancement of the character and appearance ofconservation areas and to provide a basis for making decisions about their future management.Each appraisal and management plan aims to:• identify those elements of the conservation area that contribute to its character;• identify elements that detract from the character;1
