A Conservation Area is defined as an area of ‘special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’ (Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990). Each Conservation Area has a unique character shaped by a combination of elements including buildings, materials, spaces, trees, street plan, history and economic background. The aim of Conservation Area designation is to ensure that this character is not destroyed or undermined by inappropriate changes. Conservation Areas in the Peak District National Park There are 109 Conservation Areas in the National Park. Most contain groups of traditional buildings. Others include Historic Parks and Gardens, such as Lyme Park, or industrial sites, such as Cressbrook Mill. Conservation Areas generally have an aesthetic quality that makes them desirable places in which to live.
