Overview

The council is proposing to extend the boundary of the Plaiters’ Lea Conservation area east and west along Guildford Street, to both include more buildings which add to the character of the area, and provide a more logical boundary with Church Street.  We are seeking feedback on this proposal, particularly from owners and residents of properties which would come within the new boundary.

The existing boundary is shown below in red, with the proposed new boundary in blue.

Why we are consulting

Every local authority is legally required to review Conservation Area boundaries from time to time and consider whether the boundary should be changed. 

We are required to consult on any proposed changes so that an informed decision can be made.

What happens next

We will upload details of the decision as soon as possible after it is made.
