Conservation Area

A Conservation Area is a designated zone where special measures are taken to protect the historical, architectural, or cultural significance of a location. This can include buildings, streets, or landscapes that have unique heritage value. The aim is to preserve their character and prevent inappropriate development or changes that could harm their integrity. Local authorities often have policies in place to manage alterations and ensure that any new construction respects the existing environment. Conservation Areas help maintain a community’s unique identity and promote sustainable development while appreciating its history.
