Character Appraisal Statements
Conservation Areas are "areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance." Local planning authorities are required by law to keep them under review and to produce surveys and proposal maps.
Character Appraisal Statements relating to some of Barnet’s conservation areas have been produced. They include information to explain and justify the conservation area status and are a material consideration for making planning decisions in the area, and provide the groundwork for future policies.
A Character Appraisal Statement includes:
- a description of the area’s historical development
- an assessment of the key characteristics which make it special
- details of its buildings and open spaces.
- any new management proposals arising from the survey work which is done to identify the features of the conservation area.
