What do we do?
We deliver a range of services and provide information on
the historic built environment.
- We consider, in partnership with the Development Control team,
applications for Listed Building Consent to ensure that their
special interest is retained and not harmed.
- We consider and advise on development proposals in Conservation
Areas.
- We designate new Conservation
Areas, review existing Conservation Areas and prepare,
consult upon and publish Conservation Area Appraisals and
Management Strategies.
- We provide informal advice to owners of listed buildings and to others
on the appropriate philosophy, techniques and materials for the
care and preservation of historic buildings, groups and
settlements.
- We analyse historic buildings and their settings and give
informal advice to owners or their agents on whether proposed works
would respect the character of listed buildings or the character
and appearance of Conservation Areas.
- We give design and conservation advice to Development Control
teams in their consideration of applications for planning
permission
- We investigate cases, in partnership with the Enforcement
team, where it appears that works have been carried out
without necessary Listed Building Consent or Conservation Area
Consent and take action or advise the Council as appropriate.
- We defined the council’s position where an applicant appeals
against a refusal of Listed Building Consent or Conservation Area
Consent.
- We represent the council on the Malvern Hills
AONB Joint Advisory Committee.
