Richmond Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plans - Richmond Road East Twickenham

Overview

We are currently undertaking a boroughwide programme of reviewing existing Conservation Area Appraisals to ensure they are reflective of their current character and appearance.  

What is a Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Strategy? 

Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural and historic interest, the character and appearance of which is worthy of preserving or enhancing. This character is derived from the area as a whole rather than the quality of specific buildings or features, but many features, such as the type and scale of buildings, building materials, layout of roads, and green spaces/trees, can all contribute to this special character. 

The purpose of a Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Strategy is to set out our assessment of the special character and appearance of the Conservation Area. It describes the main features of special architectural and historic interest which contribute to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. It also gives guidance on how the preservation or enhancement of the Conservation Area can be achieved. In addition, the Appraisal and Management Strategy, upon adoption, will provide guidance to planning applicants, developers and architects if building works are proposed that require planning permission, and it will also provide a sound basis for decisions made by the Council on planning applications and other proposals.   

The following Conservation Area has been reviewed, and an updated draft Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Strategy has been produced, which is the subject of this public consultation:
