Review of the Blewbury Conservation Area
This review and public consultation has now concluded and the conservation area appraisal document and revised boundary has been adopted, effective 28 June 2024. You can find the details of the consultation process on our webpages here.
The final conservation area appraisal document can be found on our conservation areas page.
The village’s conservation area is the designated area of special architectural or historic interest which exists to protect the features and characteristics that make Blewbury a historic, unique and distinctive place.
Property and land in the conservation area is covered by extra planning controls which help to protect the special interest of the area and provide a guard against inappropriate work. Most demolition works will require planning permission, there are restrictions on permitted development and advertising; and trees are also better protected.
For all the details on what designation means please see our webpages here.
Why have we reviewed the conservation area?
It is a requirement that all councils coordinate and publish appraisals for the preservation and enhancement of conservation areas and that these proposals are reviewed from time to time.
This is the first comprehensive conservation area appraisal document that has been produced for Blewbury. The document has been authored by a consultant on behalf of Blewbury Parish Council.
