WHY DOES COUNCIL VALUE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO SYMPATHETICALLY DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTIES?
Heritage consists of those places and objects that we as a community have inherited from the past and want to hand on to future generations. Our heritage gives us a sense of living history and provides a physical link to the work and way of life of earlier generations. It enriches our lives and helps us to understand who we are today.
Council encourages high quality development that allows heritage items to adapt to contemporary needs.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
~ The new development is sympathetic to and respects the heritage significance of the heritage item or conservation area.
~ The development respects the scale and form of the heritage item or of contributory items in a conservation area.
~ The new development is integrated with the heritage item and/or the established character of the conservation area.
