Why your views matter

The Beddington Parks Conservation Area identifies the character and appearance of the conservation areas, as well as the buildings and key elements that make important contributions to the historical quality of the areas.

This new draft document also includes a Management Plan checklist to highlight:

• where improvements can be made;
• where retaining heritage assets intact is a priority; or
• where change may be permissible if heritage assets can be incorporated within new development.

The Management Plan checklist also deals with such issues as how new development should complement existing heritage assets and protect open spaces, biodiversity, trees and hedges. 

The guidelines and references in the new document will be a key consideration for all future planning applications within the Conservation Areas and so we want to know what you think.
