Apply for planning permission in a conservation area

Assessing your application

We'll assess your application on a number of criteria, including:

  • The understanding and appreciation of local style and materials shown in the design.
  • The impact of the proposal on the special architectural and historic character of the conservation area.
  • Design quality. Applications for modern designs and approaches may be supported where a high-quality contemporary design respects and enhances the character of the conservation area.
