Conservation Area Appraisals
Local Authorities have a duty to review Conservation Areas from time to time. The preparation, publication and formal adoption of Conservation Area Appraisals forms part of this process.
Appraisals are being carried out, and in some instances reviewed, for each of the Peak District National Park's 109 Conservation Areas.
Historic England's Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals forms the basis of the Authority's appraisals.
Appraisals identify the special qualities that make a place worthy of designation as a Conservation Area. They look at ways in which the character of a place can be preserved or enhanced and are intended to inform future changes, not to prevent them altogether.
Draft Conservation Area Appraisals will be available for public consultation prior to adoption by the Authority.
