To consider the attached report of the Chief Executive.

The Principal Heritage Officer presented the report on the Draft Waterloo Crescent Conservation Area Character Appraisal.

Members discussed the impact of having a single landowner owning much of the land in the conservation area and were advised that the designation of a conservation area meant that all landowners, irrespective of size, had to comply with its provisions.

In response to a request from Councillor R J Frost, it was acknowledged that the Council’s website pages did not currently display maps of the conservation areas in the district although the information was held in the Council’s Geographic Information System (GIS). It was agreed that a list of the conservation areas in the district would be supplied to Members.

RESOLVED: That it be recommended to the Cabinet that Decision CAB105 be endorsed as follows:

(a)     That the draft Waterloo Crescent Conservation Area Character Appraisal, set out at Appendix 1 of the report, be approved for a period of 6 weeks’ public consultation.

(b)     That the Head of Regeneration and Development be authorised, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Environment, Waste and Planning, to make any necessary editorial changes to the appraisal prior to consultation in order to assist with clarity, consistency, explanation and presentation.

(Councillor T A Bond declared an Other Significant Interest in Minute No. 113 (Draft Waterloo Crescent Conservation Area Character Appraisal) and withdrew from the meeting for the consideration of this item of business.)
