Conservation area appraisals and management plans

Downton Conservation Area

Downton Conservation Area

Salisbury District Council is undertaking a review of the 70 conservation areas within the district, in line with the guidance from English Heritage.

The conservation area appraisals give an overview of the history and development of each conservation area, and define what is special about them. They also identify specific features that contribute to their character, for example buildings that are locally significant, important open spaces and views, and boundary wall treatments.

The management plans attached to the conservation area appraisals identify measures to maintain or improve the character of the conservation areas. For example, they might include a list of the vulnerable buildings and buildings at risk, proposals for enhancement, and suggested boundary revisions where this is considered appropriate.

The council has already carried out a consultation on the first nine conservation area appraisals and management plans. They are currently being amended and will be undergoing some additonal consultation before presentation to the relevant council committees for approval. Progress will be updated on this website. Meanwhile you can download the draft documents:
