The consultation has been launched by DDC as part of a wider review of the District’s conservation areas – places considered worthy of preservation or enhancement because of their special architectural or historic interest.
Designation as a conservation area puts in place tighter planning controls for anyone seeking permission to alter or demolish a building, or carry out work to trees, in order to maintain the special interest of the area.
The review aims to ensure that the District’s conservation areas are fit for purpose. It looks at whether their boundaries should be changed and whether further controls should be introduced.
Badby’s consultation is being run for a second time after being disrupted by the lockdown in March. Comments made earlier are being carried forward, so anyone who submitted views last time does not need to do so again.
