Conservation Area Appraisals Approved

Monmouthshire County Council has recently undertaken a review of 18 Conservation Areas within the County. The documents help identify what is special about these areas and how best to preserve their character and include proposals to extend some Conservation Areas and to remove parts of others. The Appraisals have been amended following public consultation and have now been formally adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The amendments to the Conservation Area boundaries come into force on 31st March 2016. Conservation Area status affects what can be done without planning permission. Please see our website for further guidance. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
