  • INGLEWHITE CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL August 2011
    INGLEWHITE CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL August 2011 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Inglewhite is a small, rural village situated to the north of Preston. The area has its origins as an ancient enclosure and settlement which became established over time as the location for markets and fairs for the surrounding agricultural area. 1.2 Inglewhite was first designated a conservation area in 1986 with the most recent appraisal dating from 1996. This review revaluates its special architectural and historic interest in line with the requirements of the Town & Country (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 using the latest best practice guidance produced by English Heritage1. 1.3 An up to date appraisal provides a sound basis for development management decisions affecting the conservation area and for the development initiatives for improving the area. The review also provides an opportunity to raise public awareness of the village’s historic character and engage the local community in the process. The final version of the appraisal will set out how the views of the community have been incorporated into the document. 2.0 Planning Policy Context 2.1 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 designation of a conservation area increases control over significant or total demolition of unlisted buildings, strengthens control over minor development and protects trees within its boundaries. 2.2 Section 69(2) of the Town & Country (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 imposes a duty on the Local Authority to review their conservation areas on a regular basis to ensure that standards remain sufficiently high and their distinctive character is preserved and enhanced.
