62 Proposed Hewell Grange Conservation Area PDF 92 KB
Minutes:
The Cabinet considered a report on the proposed designation under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, of a new Conservation Area centred on the Hewell Estate including HMP Hewell and the village of Tardebigge. A schedule of the properties to be included within the Conservation Area and a summary of the comments which had been received in response to the consultation process were attached to the report as appendices.
Members supported the proposal to designate Hewell as a Conservation Area. It was also noted however that as referred to in section 4.4 of the report, there was a possibility of applying additional protection to properties which currently retain historic leaded windows. The Conservation Officer stated that the application of an Article 4 (2) direction would require a further consultation process to be undertaken and a report would need to be submitted to the Cabinet following this.
Following discussion, it was
RESOLVED:
(a) that the designation of a new Hewell Grange Conservation Area as described in the report and appendices be approved; and
(b) that officers be requested to commence the necessary public consultation procedure in order to apply an Article 4 (2) direction in respect of properties within the new Conservation Area with historic leaded windows.
