Conservation areas
Summary
Local
Planning Authorities have a statutory duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to review
which parts of their area are of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable
to preserve or enhance, and to designate such areas as Conservation Areas. These are usually based on groups of buildings
but may also include historic street patterns, open spaces or features of historic or archaeological interest.

Further information
At present there are nine Conservation Areas in the District (please click on the links in the Downloads section to view a small map of each area). In order to ensure that areas of local architectural or historic interest are protected, the District Council will continue to review whether further areas are of special interest and will designate them Conservation Areas, or revise the boundaries of those existing, as appropriate. Initially, consideration is being given to the possible designation of parts of the following villages:
- Croft
- Glenfield
- Huncote
- Kilby
- Littlethorpe
