  • Talbot Street/Lichfield Street, Rugeley CA Appraisal 2019
    Talbot Street/Lichfield Street, Rugeley Conservation Area Appraisal 2019 Search for ‘Cannock Chase Life’ @CannockChaseDC www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk Conservation Area Appraisal Talbot Street/Lichfield Street, Rugeley 1. Introduction A Conservation Area is “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 places a duty on the local authority to designate Conservation Areas where appropriate. It also requires the local authority to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation or enhancement of these areas. An Appraisal was first produced for Talbot Street/Lichfield Street Conservation Area in 2005 and this document updates its predecessor making use of much of the information contained therein. The updates comprise some rearrangement of layout to accord with the house style developed subsequently, updates to the planning policy context following national and local policy changes, and references reflecting recent development and changes of use in the Conservation Area. This Appraisal seeks to provide a clear definition of the special architectural or historic interest that warranted designation of Talbot Street/Lichfield Street as a Conservation Area through a written appraisal of its character and appearance – what matters and why. The Appraisal is intended as a guide upon which to base the form and style of future development in the area. It is supported by adopted policy in Cannock Chase Local Plan (Part 1) 2014 CP15 seeking to protect and enhance the historic environment, policies CP12 and CP14 aiming to conserve biodiversity and landscape character and Policy CP3 seeking high standards of design.
