Notice is hereby given that the Ipswich Borough Council, in pursuance of its powers under the above Act, have designated the under-mentioned area of the Borough as a Conservation Area: Wet Dock Conservation Area (extension No. 1).
  The area is bounded by the northern side of College Street opposite Wolseys Gateway eastward to Key Street (but including the church and churchyard of St. Mary at the Quay) to the Old Custom House where the boundary abuts that of the Central Conservation Area. The Southern boundary runs to the rear of the quay on Albion Wharf westward from the Old Custom House to the westernmost silo on St. Peters Dock where there is a common boundary throughout with the Wet Dock Conservation Area. The western boundary is contiguous with that of the Central Conservation Area running to the west of the Pauls silo building and former Burtons premises from St. Peters Dock to College Street.
  A plan showing the area referred to can be inspected during normal office hours at the main reception desk, Civic Centre, Ipswich, and at the office of the County Director of Environment and Transport, St. Edmund House, Rope Walk, Ipswich.
  The effect of designation is that special attention will be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character of the area. In particular, controls will now apply regrading the demolition of buildings, the display of advertisements and the felling or lopping of trees within the area. Owners or coccupiers wishing to carry out works to buildings or trees within the area should seek advice from the Council’s Head of Development Control before starting work.
  Any enquiries regarding this notice and its effects should be addressed to the Head of Development Control, Civic Centre, Civic Drive, Ipswich IP1 2EE, who will be pleased to give information and advice.
