  • St James Conservation Area Audit
    ST JAMES’S 17 CONSERVATION AREA AUDIT AREA CONSERVATION Document Title: St James Conservation Area Audit Status: Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Document ID No.: 2471 This report is based on a draft prepared by B D P. Following a consultation programme undertaken by the council it was adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by the Cabinet Member for City Development on 27 November 2002. Published December 2002 © Westminster City Council Department of Planning & Transportation, Development Planning Services, City Hall, 64 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QP www.westminster.gov.uk PREFACE Since the designation of the first conservation areas in 1967 the City Council has undertaken a comprehensive programme of conservation area designation, extensions and policy development. There are now 53 conservation areas in Westminster, covering 76% of the City. These conservation areas are the subject of detailed policies in the Unitary Development Plan and in Supplementary Planning Guidance. In addition to the basic activity of designation and the formulation of general policy, the City Council is required to undertake conservation area appraisals and to devise local policies in order to protect the unique character of each area. Although this process was first undertaken with the various designation reports, more recent national guidance (as found in Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 and the English Heritage Conservation Area Practice and Conservation Area Appraisal documents) requires detailed appraisals of each conservation area in the form of formally approved and published documents. This enhanced process involves the review of original designation procedures and boundaries; analysis of historical development; identification of all listed buildings and those unlisted buildings making a positive contribution to an area; and the identification and description of key townscape features, including street patterns, trees, open spaces and building types.

Introduction The set of chalk caves known as Margate Caves have been a popular tourist attraction since the 1860s when they were first opened to the public as ‘Vortigern’s cavern’. In 2004, the Caves were closed due to Health and Safety issues and access to the site is now prohibited, the long-term future of the Caves being uncertain. This short paper is based on a report prepared for the Heritage Developments Advisor of Thanet District Council by the writer in December 2008. Methodology As the Caves are not currently accessible this report has been prepared primarily from notes made during 1993 when the manager of the Caves at the time, Nikki Martin, planned to remove the accumulated debris that had been deposited down the well and clear out the shafts [or sumps] at the bottom of the so called dungeons. A small party of Kent Underground Research Group members volunteered to undertake these tasks and spent several weekends at the site¹. The writer was invited to attend and used the opportunity to conduct a modern underground survey using standard cave survey techniques [Fig 1].
