Change is controlled in conservation areas in order to maintain the area's special character & appearance. Conservation Area Consent is required for the demolition of most buildings and some structures.
Planning Permission is needed for extensions and alterations.
In conservation areas trees with trunk diameters over 75mm are protected. The Council must be notified in writing 6 weeks in advance of any intended tree work unless the trees are dead, dying or dangerous. In such cases a replacement tree must be planted.
