Issue - meetings

The design guides for both the Mapesbury and Roe Green Village Conservation Areas were identified for updating due to age and also potential development pressures that might otherwise dilute the special character of the Conservation Areas. If adopted by Cabinet, the documents will replace the existing design guides for the areas.  The consultation responses in relation to the Mapesbury guide also identified concerns that the boundary of the conservation area is not a reflection of the extent of area that should have this status.  The report also sets out how this issue can be addressed.

It was RESOLVED:

21.1    That the consultation responses and recommended revisions to the Design Guides, as set out in Appendix A, be considered;

21.2    That the adoption of the Mapesbury Conservation Area Design Guide in Appendix B be approved as a Supplementary Planning Document and that the existing guide be revoked; and

21.3    That the adoption of the Roe Green Village Conservation Area Design Guide in Appendix C be approved as a Supplementary Planning Document and that the existing guide be revoked.

Councillor Tatler (Lead Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills) introduced the report which requested that Cabinet approved the adoption of new Conservation Area Design Guides for both Mapesbury and Roe Green respectively, following a public consultation period and engagement with resident associations. She explained that the technical detail was contained within the report and draft guides which had been attached as part of the agenda pack.

Councillor Butt (Leader of the Council) spoke in support of the proposals.

It was RESOLVED:
