What is a conservation area?

Conservation areas are designated in recognition of the ‘special architectural and historic interest’ of an area, and the desirability of preserving or enhancing that interest. The planning process recognises that the benefit derived from areas with architectural and historic interest depends on more than the preservation of individual buildings of importance, and that a mix of factors, including green spaces, relationship of buildings to the street, commercial activity, street furniture and traffic flow, all impact on the perception of an area.

The Cressing Conservation Area (figure 1, appendix 1) was designated on the 22 October 1981 by Braintree District in recognition of the special architectural and historic interest of the area. Designation of a conservation area is not intended to prevent new development in the area, but introduces an additional level of control for the quality of design through the planning process. This should be undertaken in accordance with policies for the built environment set out in the Braintree District Local Plan Review (July 2005)…
