Urban design
We work to ensure that the design of new buildings and the public realm (for example, streets, roads, public rights of way, squares, parks and public gardens) is of high quality.
Conservation areas

Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas
Information on undertaking works to trees covered by tree preservation orders and trees in conservation areas.
Listed buildings
You need consent to alter, extend or demolish a listed building if the proposed work would affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest.
Ancient monuments and archaeological sites
There are a number of archaeological sites that can provide us with important insights into the history of the area. However, such sites are vulnerable to damage so need to be protected.
