Report of the Interim Strategic Director of Place

Presented by the Regeneration and Planning Portfolio Holder

The Regeneration and Planning Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members.

He informed Members that the Council was fully compliant with regards to the public consultation and as a result a number of properties had been added into the conservation area along with some open land.  He referred Members to the appraisal at appendix 1, the boundary review at appendix 2 and the public consultation responses at appendix 3.

Councillor R Blunt commented that it was clear when looking at photographs how unique and interesting the area of Ibstock was.  The high street was very long and full of vibrant independent shops, he felt it was something to be proud of.

RESOLVED THAT:

The Character Appraisal and Boundary Review for Ibstock Conservation Area be adopted.

Reason for decision:  Adoption of the character appraisal and boundary review would: (a) Support the aims of the Council Delivery Plan relating to

sustainable development and growth and people feeling

proud of their homes and communities; (b) Support the Council in fulfilling its duties under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 relating to the designation and review of conservation areas.
