Conservation Areas<br />
Advice from Sue Drew of Dobbs & Drew<br />
Local authorities have the power to designate as conservation areas, any area of<br />
special architectural or historic interest. This means the planning authority has<br />
extra powers to control works and demolition of buildings to protect or improve<br />
the character or appearance of the area.<br />
The designation of a Conservation Area will affect an area in a number of ways.<br />
For example, the permitted development rights of the properties within the<br />
conservation area will be affected. In normal circumstances, householders have certain<br />
‘Permitted Development’ rights to carry out minor works to their properties, without<br />
requiring planning permission, such as small extensions and new garden sheds.<br />
In Conservation Areas, ‘Permitted Development’ rights are reduced and works,<br />
which normally don’t require permission do, some of these are listed below:<br />
• The insertion of dormer windows into roof slopes<br />
• The erection of satellite dishes on walls, roofs or chimneys fronting a highway<br />
• Changes to walls and fences or other means of enclosure<br />
• The size of house and industrial extensions that may be carried out without<br />
specific planning permission is also more restricted. Certain demolition works may<br />
also require consent in conservation areas<br />
• Replacement external windows and doors may require planning permission.<br />
Living in a Conservation Area requires householders to respect the special character<br />
or appearance of the area when making changes affecting the outside of their properties.<br />
Trees in a conservation area that are already protected by a Tree Preservation Order<br />
are subject to the normal procedures and controls for any tree covered by such an<br />
Order.<br />
Trees in a conservation area that are not protected by a Tree Preservation Order<br />
are protected by the provisions in section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act<br />
1990. These provisions require people to notify the local planning authority, using a<br />
‘section 211 notice’, six weeks before carrying out certain work on such trees, unless<br />
an exception applies. The work may go ahead before the end of the six-week period<br />
if the local planning authority gives consent. This notice period gives the authority an<br />
opportunity to consider whether to make an Order on the tree.<br />
