Mid Suffolk District Council is undertaking a review of the 31
Conservation Areas in the District in line with guidance from
English Heritage.
'Conservation Area Appraisals' give an overview of the history
and development of each area and try to define what it is that
makes them special. They also identify specific features which
contribute towards their character, for example historic buildings
and buildings which are locally significant, important green and
open spaces, significant views, natural elements such as trees, and
features which help make an area locally distinctive. The documents
also identify elements that could be improved.
A five year review programme has been started for the District's
31 conservation areas. Community involvement is essential in
understanding the special nature and different issues for each
conservation area and new appraisals are given a period of public
consultation. The draft documents will be available in phases. The
following Conservation Areas have already been through their
consultation period and are adopted as Non Statutory Supplementary
Planning Guidance:
