Background:

This report requested Cabinet approval for public consultation on the draft Star Hill to Sun Pier Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan. The Appraisal considered the historic character and significance of the Conservation Area, and through the Management Plan introduced means for its future conservation and enhancement. As part of the Management Plan, four potential areas for extension to the Conservation Area had been identified.

Alongside the Appraisal, a Development Framework (for the same area) was also being produced to help shape the form and type of future development in the Area. It was intended that the two documents would be consulted upon in tandem.

The public consultation would take place for a minimum 6-week period between October and November 2023.

Reasons:

The proposed public consultation for the draft Conservation Area Appraisal will meet the requirements of Section 71(2) and (3) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 which requires a public consultation and consideration of any comments received and will assist in the adoption of the Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan.
