United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, the term Conservation Area nearly always applies to an area (usually urban) considered worthy of preservation or enhancement because of its special architectural or historic interest, "the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance," as required by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (Section 69 and 70). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act 1990 is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom that altered the laws on granting of planning permission More than 8000 have been designated.

In conservation areas, it is the protection of the quality and special interest of the neighbourhood or area as a whole that is intended, rather than specific buildings. For example, the layout of boundaries, roads, vistas and viewpoints, trees and green features, street furniture and surfaces, the characteristic building materials of the area, the mix of different uses, and the design of shop fronts may all be taken into account when deciding whether an area has a particular special architectural or historic interest. It is the role of the listed building process to protect individual buildings, although it is common for many listed buildings to also be located within designated conservation areas where those individual buildings make a contribution to the special architectural or historic character of the area. A listed building in the United Kingdom is a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural historical or cultural significance

Current Government planning policy on Conservation Areas is laid down in (for England) Planning Policy Guidance Note 15: Planning and the Historic Environment (PPG15), Section 4 and (for Wales) Welsh Office Circular 61/96 - Planning and the Historic Environment: Historic Buildings and Conservation Areas. PPG 15 is short for Planning Policy Guidance 15 Planning and the Historic Environment, a document produced by the British Government to advise local planning authorities

There are additional planning controls over certain works carried out within the Conservation Area. For example, demolition within Conservation Areas requires consent. Demolition is the opposite of Construction: the tearing-down of Buildings and other Structures It contrasts with deconstruction The designation does not preclude development from taking place, but does require that developments preserve or enhance the historic character of the area, for example by ensuring that newly constructed buildings are of a high quality design. Conservation Area status also removes some permitted development rights that apply in undesignated areas. Permitted development is an aspect of Town and country planning in the United Kingdom which allows property developers and private individuals to build on or change the use

A conservation area may have a Conservation Area Advisory Committee, a non-elected body of people, some of whom may be expert, who are concerned about the conservation in the particular area.
