Conservation areas are a heritage designation under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to manage the special historic or architectural character of a place. Malvern Hills has 21 Conservation Areas; to check if you are in a conservation area, please visit My Local Area website.
The Council have a programme of reviewing the conservation areas, this entails the creation or renewal of appraisals, the continued relevancy of existing boundaries and the requirement for additional controls.
Appraisals are a means of:
- Identifying and re-assessing the special qualities of the conservation area
- Ensuring the effectiveness of the boundaries and assess whether they should be altered
- Engaging and consulting with the local community and businesses during the process
- Preparing a strategy for its future management
