A Conservation Area
is an area of special architectural or historic interest, the
character of which the council aims to preserve or enhance. |

In a Conservation
Area:-
With certain minor exceptions,
no building or part of a building can be demolished or removed
without consent and it is an offence to do so. Repairs or
alterations to building should generally not involve the removal
of part of a building, e.g. chimney stacks, decorative mouldings,
boundary walls, unless it is replaced in exactly the same
design, materials and colour. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Some minor developments
which do not require planning consent outside of a Conservation
Area will need permission inside a Conservation Area, e.g. all
roof extensions and stone cladding. Also the size and location
of extension are subject to more stringent controls. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
The council may
require more detail in planning applications an will examine
them more carefully to make sure that the bulk or design of
the proposals and the materials and colours used are sympathetic
to the character of the area. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
No trees may be lopped
or felled without consent. |

In 1979 Craven District
Council designated a Conservation Area for Sutton-in-Craven.
This includes the older part of the settlement along North Road,
High Street and Ellers Road, including Greenroyd Mills, the
park, St Thomas Church and Sutton Beck. The Conservation Area
boundary is drawn very tightly around the village centre, and
there is a possibility of extension in the future to include
surrounding fields, woodland, terraced housing. |
