Conservation Area Appraisals

The table below shows all the current Conservation Areas in Stroud District. A process of assessment and review is underway and Conservation Area Statements (CAS) are being produced for each one. Given the number of conservation areas in Stroud District, this is a lengthy process and we are only able to produce a small number per year.

A Conservation Area Statement consists of two parts:

• A character appraisal. This identifies what it is that makes each conservation area distinctive and highlights the features of special architectural or historic interest that contribute to its character and appearance.
• A set of management proposals, designed to ensure the preservation or enhancement of the conservation area's character or appearance. This usually includes policies, enhancement proposals, boundary amendments, design guidance and the identification of any buildings at risk. Management proposals for conservation areas must be adopted as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD), forming part of the Stroud District Local Development Framework
