GUIDE TO MAKING AN APPLICATION FOR CONSERVATION AREA CONSENT
Minimum information required with the application. All applications should provide the following:
a. Location Plan - at a scale of 1:1250. The site must be outlined in red and shown in relation to property nearby. (Location plans for use in making a planning application are available from the Technical Support Team but a charge is made for this service.)
b. Block or Site Plan - at a scale no less than 1:500 showing the building as existing, plot boundaries, trees, and other features, and proposed extent of demolition etc.
c. Building plans - Existing floor plans, elevations, sections, where relevant. Proposed floor plans, elevations, sections, where relevant. Plans should be accurate and provided at a scale of not less than 1:50 and fully annotated to provide information on materials, methods of construction, surface finishes and colours and the relationship to adjoining buildings where relevant. Drawings showing proposals should be at a similar scale and provide a similar amount of information in order for a comparison to be made. They should indicate the nature of any proposed development/rebuilding work and the effect that this will have on the adjoining buildings and the Conservation Area.
d. Photographs It would be helpful if applications are accompanied by photographs of all elevations affected. The photographs need not be taken professionally but should clearly show the architectural details of the building.
Additional information (as much as possible is helpful and necessary for larger and more complicated applications).
i) Detail drawings. The existing details and proposals should be indicated on drawings to a minimum scale of 1:20, including elevations and vertical and horizontal sections.
ii) Reasoned statement justifying application. Where you propose to claim that the building has no architectural, historic or townscape merit or the redevelopment of the site or part of the site would be of overriding benefit to the Conservation Area you should submit a reasoned statement to support your case.
Demolition
Unless you propose to claim that the building is not worthy of
retention you will be required to produce convincing evidence that it is
structurally or financially impracticable to retain part or all of the
building.
You will therefore be expected to provide a schedule of work
which will include:
i) The minimum works necessary to preserve the
building
ii) The additional works necessary to carry out the applicant's
proposals
iii) A full structural engineers survey, appraisal of the
building and indication of necessary works to facilitate the above
iv)
Costings for the above works to compare costs of repairing the building
and costs to redevelop the site.
