It is in two parts: a Character Appraisal and a Management Strategy. The Character Appraisal provides factual information regarding the Conservation Area. The Management Strategy gives specific planning guidance and enhancement advice. Conservation areas were introduced by the Civic Amenities Act 1967 to safeguard areas of “special architectural or historic interest.” Totterdown Fields was designated a Conservation Area on the 19th September 1978. On 14th June 1990 the Council sought to further protect the area’s appearance and special character through an Article 4 Direction. This Direction removes certain permitted development rights, which means that demolition or part removal, or erection of a front boundary treatment now requires planning permission - affecting properties along, Derington Road, Lessingham Avenue, Cowick Road, Coteford Road, Okeburn Road, Fransiscan Road, Ruslip Street and Church Lane. Not all properties along the identified streets fall within the conservation area or have an Article 4 Direction. To check if your property falls within one of these constraints, please contact the Council. This Appraisal has been produced in accordance with government guidelines in PPG 15, and the English Heritage Guidance notes of August 2005. These state that local planning authorities need to define and record the special interest, character and appearance of all conservation areas in their care. The intention of this Appraisal is to provide clearly defined analysis of the character and appearance of the Totterdown Fields Conservation Area, which is defensible on appeal, and can be utilized in development control decisions. In addition, the Management Strategy addresses issues, which have been identified in the character appraisal, for the enhancement and preservation of the conservation area. This Appraisal was made available for public consultation in October 2007 and was approved by the Planning and Transportation Overview and Scrutiny Committee in on 19 February 2008 and the Council's Executive on 3 March 2008. It is important to note however that no appraisal can be completely comprehensive and the omission of a particular building, feature or open space should not be taken to imply that it is of no interest. 2 Wandsworth Conservation & Design Group TOTTERDOWN FIELDS CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL & MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Totterdown Fields Conservation Area 3 2 1 22.2m 9 3 7 2 4 5 5 24 2 4 2 TCB 1 a 2 2 2 D 6 4 9 BM 22.81m 9 A 5 O R 6 4 5 3 TCB 1 1 6 0 B 0 R 1 G U 5 R D 1 E 1 E B 5 N M E O 2 L R 0 L 4 1 3 1 4 R 7 0 O 1 A 9 5 D 6 7 9 9 a f 2 2 18 1 2 4m 1 4 4 4 1 . 1 32 1 9 P 0 4 M 8 0 R 2 B 1 IC 6 1 E 6 0 C 3 L 5 O 8 S 5 E 8 3 1 4 7 1 0 1 7 0 5 1 1 11 0 5 6 9 5 D A 2 O 8 4 5 1 1 2 R 5 9 D D L A IE O LB F R 2 N A a E T N O 26 A El Sub Sta V 32.7m P T 5 A 8 S 0 N 7 R 3 3 O 5 9 H M 9 9 A M 8 R 7 Rose and O 11 A 2 2 D Crown 1 1 1 4 6 (PH) 2 7 1 H BM IL L 7 BR 34.40m 2 O a O 1 K 6 3 2 1 1 0 7 LY 5 2 N 12 W O R 7 D O O W 1 A D A 7 a 3 D 5 r 6 O R 2 d R 7 4 3 1 4 O 1 2 A B A D d C Shelter y 0 O 1 0 4 V C 9 A 6 7 R 4 Church 8 2 3 4 B R 1 U 2 D 8 1 E 3 T N C 1 E 2 L 6 L D R O O O A D W S 5 E 3 6 T 4 F .7 A m 4 H 5 7 1 8 7 2 S 8 7 2 3 8 6 5 7 6 0 49 9 20.8m 20 1 0 7 B M A N 21 5 S 1 .1 E 4 3 L 4 8 3 7 m L 1 1 R 7 7 a 2 6 T O 6 3 C A B D 4 5 9 3 9 0 o 6 1 t A 4 1 ns M el l 1 an our s 2 9 5 7 C i 7 on D ne s t 4 o A o t O 1 4 R eher 1 H 6 r 4 I A T 5 LL N B TA R N 2 O O 5 O M 1 K R 5 O 3 A 6 5 2 4 D 1 2 3 8 3 6 8 8 1 9 1 5 Bank 1 31 24.5m 20.3m 0 1 2 0 48 33 6 1 5 3 6 LY 5 N W O 2 O 2 9 D 2 6 4 2 R 0 o 2 5 t O 0 0 A 1 1 1 D 23 2 0 4 43 4 6 1 1 El Sub Sta 4 1 7 2 5 2 4 4 TCB 3 D 7 A 9 3 3 O 4 R A C 6 O 0 V A D 5 7 E 3 7 2 R 1 1 I 4 N 1 T 1 42 O 35 N o R t O B A M 1 4 D 36.1m 0 2 4 3 6 0 E .1 R 1 A 2 m U 1 Q S R 7 5 2 E 1 1 G 5 6 9 IN 7 R 1 R A 6 B 7 8 3 5 2 7 7 8 1 7 t o 1 6 1 5 28.9m 0 9 4 2 El Sub Sta 3 1 1 2 9 6 6 1 o t E 4 o 7 t 7 C 7 A 7 L 4 7 8 P 6 1 E 1 O 1 F 2 1 E 3 0 1 T D O 6 P 6 S H 9 A 5 M 1 R 6 2 O 9 87 A D 1 4 3 H I LL B R 3 O 1 6 6 7 O 4 K 3 9 1 2 R 0 O 2 A 2 1 D a 5 t 2 3 S 3 1 1 b 8 E u m b R S 9 A 9 l .0 U 9 E 7 Q 3 S R M 1 E .5m 5 B 8 G 1 5 a IN 7 1 R 9 0 R 7 A D 5 B W 4 36.5m 1 1 1 7 8 2 6 1 t 5 o Playing 5 1 1 1 6 4 32.0m Playing Field 8 1 1 Field 5 8 8 4 B 2 1 T R E L o U t E E 9 S D 6 R S 0 I 6 1 E 8 T N 1 N S G 1 1 H 0 E P 3 8 I A 1 L 2 1 2 L M L a S A R I V 1 O U 0 6 6 E 1 2 N b A 2 R U D E 8 2 1. 9 2 10 3 6 1 M 2d 7 d B 0 8 9 3 2 1 7 C 1 R 6 13 3 8 8 1 a 0 1 3 2 8 3 3 3 2 3 1 1 9 H 23 d i 2 1 l 6 6 l a 9 b 4 1 9 8 r 5 3 1 o 2 1 H 1 1 2 1 o b 9 i 3 l k to lc P 1 ro 1 4 1 0 r 2 6 0 f i 7 m LB 1 t 5 2 4 S 2 a 0 c 5 Bruce B r 1 33.2m h y M 8 o S 4 3 8 C 1 O o 4 4 W c .6 2 l 3 0 2 h IC A 4 Lawns 1 m 5 K o 5 8 R 7 n 1 3 O 1 o 2 A n l 5 D 0 e 1 3 3 x 1 5 e 6 1 5 2 3 1 1 0 3 7 4 1 7 8 3 5 1 1 28.4m 5 7 9 2 5 3 0 1 6 1 7 1 1 2 1 4 1 1 1 6 33.7m 1 9 6 7 4 2 1 1 2 8 6 2 3 3 2 64 3 3 7 66 2 2 1 2 1 8 1 4 1 Bruce 3 l 3 E 5 2 1 6 7 3 a 4 t C B 3 S 3 M Hall 7 O 76 4 b 0 T 3 7 u 3 4 E 4 36.1m S 9 F .7 O 7 Mews R m D 78 4 All Saints' 3 6 4 5 Church 7 LE 5 T 6 8 C 1 6 H 1 3 W S 5 W 5 TCB O T 1 a R 2 6 R T 5 6 E 1 rd H E 9 47 S 0 T 5 B 4 T 5 W LB d 1 R y E a E 4 rd C T 3 Bdy R 1 1 4 3 9 G R S O u r 5 O 1 g 5 4 e M 3 7 F ry 7 8 8 IE 25.1m 1 L 0 D 6 3 8 C L 2 O S 9 8 E 20.1m 5 1 7 6 3 6 2 9 4 1 m 6 24 .
