BASINGSTOKE AND DEANE BOROUGH COUNCIL

Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990

Notice is hereby given that the Borough Council of Basingstoke and Deane (hereinafter called “the Council”) as the District Planning Authority for the area has determined, for purpose of section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, that the area described in the Schedule hereto is an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance and has designated it a Conservation Area for that purpose.
  A plan showing the extent of the Conservation Area is available for inspection at the Civic Offices, London Road, Basingstoke (Development Department), during normal office hours.
  The effect of the said designation is that:

  (a) all planning applications for development that would affect the character of the area must be advertised and site notices posted so that the maximum opportunity for comments is given to the public before a decision is reached;
  (b) the prior approval of the District Planning Authority may be required for the demolition of buildings within the Conservation Area (applications for approval must be made separately not as part of an application for planning permission for the development of a site within a Conservation Area);
  (c) before certain trees within the Conservation Area can be felled, topped, lopped or uprooted it will be necessary to give 6 weeks notice to the District Planning Authority (if the trees are subject to wilful damage or destruction an offence may have been committed);
  (d) if it is intended to demolish any building or part of a building or to carry out any work which may in any way affect a tree within a Conservation Area, the advice of the District Planning Authority should be sought; and
  (e) the Borough Council as District Planning Authority, will exercise particular care to ensure that change, if and when it occurs, does not detract from the character of the area.
