Stroud District Council

Conservation Area Boundary Changes

Stroud District Council has completed a review of the Industrial Heritage Conservation Area (IHCA) and seven conservation areas that adjoin it:

  • The Industrial Heritage Conservation Area (IHCA)
  • Dunkirk & Watledge CA
  • Stroud Station CA
  • St Mary’s & Belvedere CA
  • Ebley Mills CA
  • Stanley Mills CA
  • Longfords Mills CA
  • Lodgemore & Fromehall CA

Notice is hereby given that, on 6th November 2008, Stroud District Council adopted a Conservation Area Statement and amended the boundaries of six existing Conservation Areas as part of this review, viz:

  • The Industrial Heritage Conservation Area (IHCA)
  • Dunkirk & Watledge CA
  • Stroud Station CA
  • St Mary’s & Belvedere CA
  • Ebley Mills CA
  • Stanley Mills CA

Additionally, these boundary changes have impacted on a further four neighbouring conservation areas:

  • Nailsworth CA
  • South Woodchester CA
  • Stroud Town Centre CA
  • Chalford Vale CA

In carrying out this review, the Council has exercised the powers granted by Section 69(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The original designation of the IHCA was made in 1987, and the other affected conservation were designated between 1977 and 1989. The review has looked at the character, the appearance and the special architectural and historic interest of the IHCA and its environs, and concluded that variations to the boundaries of these ten Conservation Areas are appropriate and timely.

Maps of the revised boundaries are held at the Offices of Stroud District Council, Ebley Mill, Westward Road, Stroud and may be inspected there during normal office hours. The maps are also available to view online, together with the adopted Conservation Area Statement, a Design Guide and a set of Conservation Area Management Proposals (a Supplementary Planning Document). The boundary changes are detailed in Volume 1 of the Conservation Area Statement (Chapter 11).

68 Conservation Area boundary alterations have been made, at the following locations. You can download a PDF for each of the boundary changes by clicking on the links below:
