  • Management Plan John Innes Merton Park
    MERTON COUNCIL PUTTING YOU FIRST John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area Management Plan A supplement to the John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area Appraisal September 2010 www.merton.gov.uk CONTENTS: 1. Introduction 2. Implications of conservation area designation 3. Special architectural and historic interest 4. Challenges faced in the conservation area 5. Management Proposals APPENDICES: 1. The Action Plan 2. References London Borough of Merton 2 Management Plan: John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area 1.0 INTRODUCTION Background to the Conservation Area Management Plan 1.1 This Management Plan has been prepared as a supplement to the Character Appraisal for the John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area (2006). 1.2 The duty to designate conservation areas was introduced in the Civic Amenities Act 1967. Designation of the John Innes (Merton Park) Conservation Area in the following year was, therefore, a rapid response to the new provision that immediately recognised the significance of the area. The John Innes (Wilton Crescent) Conservation Area followed in 1984. The two areas are contiguous and there is much that unites them through the John Innes connection, which is why his name appears in their formal titles. More generally, however, the two areas are known as the Merton Park and the Wilton Crescent Conservation Areas. 1.3 While there are planning measures relating specifically to conservation areas (see section 3 below), their effectiveness depends upon the way in which the designated areas are managed. This is not simply a matter of controls being exercised by the Borough Council, there are incentives too, and significant contributions to be made by local businesses, residents and community groups.
