Decision - Designation of new and extended Conservation Areas

1.     That the proposed Carlton Hill conservation area, as set out at Appendix 2, be approved and formally designated and the Character Statement for the area be adopted.

2.     That the proposed extension of the Tongdean Avenue/Road conservation area, to include properties in Dyke Road Avenue as set out in Appendix 3, be approved and formally designated.

3.     That the extended Tongdean Avenue/Road conservation area be renamed Tongdean and the revised Character Statement for the area be adopted.

1.     It is considered that the proposed new and extended areas meet the criteria for a conservation area as set out in the council’s adopted Conservation Strategy (2003) and accord with Government guidance (Planning Policy Guidance note 15: Planning and the Historic Environment). The results of public consultation were broadly supportive and some amendments have been made to the proposals in response to concerns raised.

1.     None considered.
