Built Heritage Conservation Service
The historic built environment, whether it be a large country house or a row of humble workers cottages, forms an integral part of everyday life. Their presence adds to the quality of our lives by enhancing the familiar and cherished local scene and they form a central part of our cultural heritage and our sense of national identity. The District Council's Conservation Service seeks to preserve and enhance the historic built environment of the North East Derbyshire area for the enjoyment of the residents of North East Derbyshire, tourists to the area and also for the generations who will follow us.
In order to achieve this goal the Planning Department, through its Conservation Officer, provides the following services:
- Maintaining up to date policies and proposals relating to conservation issues in the North East Derbyshire District Council Local Plan.
- Supporting policies within the local plan with more detailed advice through the publication of Supplementary Planning Guidance such as Conservation Area Character Statements and Guidance Notes.
- A rolling review of conservation areas and their boundaries.
- Maintaining records of the listed buildings within the Authority's boundaries.
- Providing advice to owners, purchasers and developers on the restoration and enhancement of listed buildings, development within conservation areas and works to all aspects of the historic built environment.
- Working with the Development Control team to assess planning applications and applications for listed building or conservation area consent.
- Working with the Enforcement Service, to resolve infringements of planning law relating to listed buildings and conservation areas.
