Designation of Conservation Area - Oaklands Estate, Whitton

Overview

Public consultation on designation of a new Conservation Area:  Oaklands Estate, Whitton

The Council is proposing to designate the Oaklands Estate as a Conservation Area under the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.  As part of this process, the Council is seeking views of all owners and/or occupiers of properties that would fall in the proposed area . In brief, the implications of Conservation Area designation are as follows;

• Conservation Area Consent will be required for the demolition of most buildings and structures (including walls)
• Works to trees above a certain size will require permission
• New development will be required to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area

An information leaflet containing further details about Conservation Area status is available on our website at http://www.richmond.gov.uk/conservation_areas.pdf

If you would like a hard copy of the document sent to you, please feel free to contact the Business Support Team.

We would welcome any comments by completing the on-line questionnaire by the 26^th June 2015 when the consultation closes.  Your comments will be considered when undertaking the final assessment.
