Conservation Area Appraisals

In Mid Devon we have written appraisals for some but unfortunately not all, of our conservation areas. Some also have management plans - identifying where changes and improvements would be welcome and where improvements schemes could take place (if funding is available).

Conservation Area Appraisals are written for several reasons:

To understand more fully the character and special interest of the area
To promote the special interest of the area to everyone
To consult with the public about what they feel is special about their area and incorporate this into the documents
To include elements such as landscape, archaeology, history, special features of interest and good unlisted buildings
To provide helpful guidance to members of the public who might wish to make planning applications
To provide useful documentation to refer to when making planning decisions
To defend these planning decisions at appeal
