Section 3 is a street-by-street analysis which looks in detail at all the streets and spaces in the core area.
This document has taken several years to produce and it is important that it is not considered to be a snapshot in time, but is capable of being modified and updated over time to enable it to advise decisions made in the core area for many years to come. However, because of the long timescale involved its production, there will inevitably be factual errors or omissions and we welcome notification of these.
The Environment Scrutiny Committee of the Council approved a draft version of the Historic Core Appraisal for public consultation on 27th April 2004. Representations were received and subsequent amendments considered by the Environment Scrutiny Committee on 22nd March 2005, and finally approved by the Executive Councillor on 15th August 2006.
This document will be used as a material consideration in the determination of planning and other applications.
