The SPD will supplement the policies of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan and will be used when assessing the merits of development proposals. South Gloucestershire Supplementary Planning Document : Siston Conservation Area Introduction The Siston Conservation Area was designated in 1989 and enlarged in 2010 due to its special architectural and historic character with its remarkably well preserved Elizabethan manor house of Siston Court, its adjacent historic properties, hamlet, church, and outlying farms all nestling in an attractive rural landscape of open fields, groups of trees and the remnants of an 18th century managed landscape. The Siston Conservation Area boundary is shown on Plan 1. Once designated, the local planning authority has a statutory duty to ensure that any proposed development will preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area and its setting. The Council also has a duty to periodically review all conservation areas and this leaflet incorporates the results of this review. Purpose of the document CONTENTS This guidance seeks to identify the main elements that contribute to the special Introduction p2 character or appearance of the conservation area and provides a strategy for The Conservation Area its preservation and enhancement.
