Putney Heath Appraisal & Management Strategy (DRAFT)
INTRODUCTION
Conservation areas are "areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character and
appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance" as set out in the Planning (Listed
Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Conservation Area Appraisals are documents that
define and analyse this special architectural and historic interest according to guidance
published by English Heritage and justify their designation as conservation areas.
Under the same Act the Council has a duty to publish proposals for the preservation and
enhancement of conservation areas. The management strategy in Part Two of this document
sets out how the Council manages the conservation area in accordance with guidance from
English Heritage.
Together, the conservation area appraisal and management strategy are material
considerations in the planning process and provide a sound basis for planning policies,
decisions and appeals.
