Agenda item

The Executive Member for Development Management and Council Support submitted a report on the Ardeley Parish Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plans incorporating the three conservation areas of Ardeley, Moor Green and Wood End.  She detailed the outcome of the further consultations that had taken place.

The Appraisal identified the special character of the Conservation Area together with the elements that should be retained or enhanced and those which detracted from the identified character.  Once adopted by the Council, the Appraisal would become a ‘material consideration’ in the process of determining planning applications.  It would also link into the development of neighbourhood planning.

Councillor S Rutland-Barsby referred to page 337 of the report submitted which highlighted the unusual design of the war memorial and the advantages of removing selected vegetation.

Councillor S Rutland-Barsby moved, and Councillor G Jones seconded, a motion that the recommendations now detailed, be supported.  After being put to the meeting, and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

The Executive supported the proposals now detailed.

RECOMMENDED – that (A) the responses to the public consultation be noted and the Officer responses and proposed changes to the Ardeley Parish Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plans be supported;

(B)       authority be delegated to the Head of Planning and Building Control, in consultation with the Executive Member for Development Management and Council Support, to make any further minor and consequential changes to the  document which may be necessary; and

(C)       the Ardeley Parish Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plans incorporating the three conservation areas of Ardeley, Moor Green and Wood End be adopted.
