The legal requirement
Under section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, every local planning authority must from time to time determine which parts of their area are of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.
When designating, varying, or cancelling a conservation area, the authority must give notice by publishing a notice in at least one newspaper circulating in the area. This ensures the local community is informed of changes that may affect the character of their area.
The designation of a conservation area brings additional planning controls, including the requirement for consent before demolishing buildings and strengthened controls over trees.
