  • Baldwins Green Conservation Area Appraisal
    Baldwins Green Conservation Area Appraisal SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING GUIDANCE December 2003 Baldwins Green Conservation Area Appraisal The historic environment is a social asset of immense value and one of the keys to the continuing prosperity of Sevenoaks District. Conservation Area Appraisals are part of the process of ensuring that we make the best use of our historic environment. They are tools for the positive management of change, not a means of preventing development. Conservation is focused on the entire historic environment, not just listed buildings. Trees, open spaces, buildings, uses, roads and streets all contribute to the character and local distinctiveness of the District’s conservation areas. The man-made environment of our conservation areas has used energy and materials moulded by people both past and present. The District Council will creatively manage the fabric of these areas in a sustainable way as a legacy for future generations. It is intended that this appraisal will inform the activities of the Council, the public and other bodies where these impact on the conservation area. This appraisal was approved by the District Council in December 2003 and adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance. Sevenoaks District Council is not liable for any loss or damage, however sustained by others arising from the contents of this document. This document must not be reproduced in whole or in part without prior written permission from the Council. © Sevenoaks District Council, December 2003 Published by Sevenoaks District Council
