"These old buildings do not belong to us only...they are not our property to do as we like with. We are only trustees for those that come after us." (William Morris, 1889) 

The district’s heritage is a finite resource, which once lost is impossible to replace.

Our conservation officer is responsible for securing the preservation and enhancement of our rich and diverse heritage.

They can:

• provide specialist advice on the repair and maintenance of historic buildings
• provide specialist advice on the reuse of redundant buildings
• work with owners of buildings at risk
• give design advice to the planning team and external agents
• prepare conservation area appraisals and propose boundary designations
• produce guidance and policy documents to help guide developers and applicants when dealing with the built environment

Please note there is no charge for general advice from the conservation officer who will endeavour to respond to your enquiry within 14 working days.
