has prepared the Management plan in
partnership with The Oxton Society.
Members were advised that the Authority has a
statutory duty to protect and enhance the character of conservation
areas and to preserve its listed buildings in accordance with
National Guidance contained in the National Planning
Policy
Framework (NPFF) and other
guidance. The Committee were informed
that In order to meet those obligations, we need to develop
policies which identify clearly what features of the area should be
preserved or enhanced and set out how this can be done. Character
appraisals provide a clear assessment and definition of an
area’s particular interest and management plans set out the
action needed to protect it. Within this, the most important policy
is a presumption against the loss of elements which have been
identified in the character appraisal as making a positive
contribution to the special interest for which the area was
designated. Members were further advised that the Management Plan
and Character Appraisal documents for Oxton will eventually sit alongside the
conservation policies contained within the Local Development
Framework.
On a motion by Councillor Kelly
and seconded by Councillor Foulkes it was:
Resolved
(10:0) That Members approve the adoption
of the Management Plan as a material reference in planning and
conservation matters, and that this report is referred to Cabinet
for approval.
