Designation of Building of Townscape Merit

Further to the decision taken by the Council’s  Strategic Cabinet Member for Environment, Business and Community on 21^st April 2015, the list of buildings (see below) have been considered to be potentially worthy of being included in our local list of Buildings of Townscape Merit (BTMs).

This consultation is to give owners of the buildings which will potentially be included to the BTM list an opportunity to make comments that they would like to be taken into consideration.

The period of consultation will last 3 weeks. All comments should be submitted online and received by the Council before 4th September 2015 

The status of Building of Townscape Merit does not impose any extra obligations upon the owner, nor does it require special consent for any works that would not otherwise need it. It does however mean that the Council will take the special status into account when considering any planning application which impacts upon the exterior of the property.

A leaflet containing more information about Buildings of Townscape Merit can be found below.
