St Edmundsbury Borough Council is asking for people’s views on a draft plan which will be used to help protect the special nature of a conservation area in Bury St Edmunds.
The council has drawn up a draft character appraisal and management plan for the Victoria Street conservation area. The plan has been drawn up in line with English Heritage guidelines to identify the characteristics which make the conservation area a special place worth protecting. It will also be used to help guide future development.
You can view the draft document at the council’s offices in Western Way and on Angel Hill, on St Edmundsbury’s website at www.stedmundsbury.gov.uk or at the library on Sergeants Walk. A drop-in session, where people can ask questions and give their views, has been organised for 4-7pm on Wednesday 18 March at the West Road Church.
The consultation runs from Wednesday 4 March to 5pm Wednesday 1 April. Please make your comments in writing and send them to the Conservation Team, Planning and Engineering Services, Environment Directorate, St Edmundsbury Borough Council, Western Way, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 3YS. Alternatively, you can email chris.leveson@stedsbc.gov.uk
All of the comments we receive will be summarised and reported to a future council meeting. St Edmundsbury will then adopt the amended document as planning guidance.
