That the Planning Committee agrees to the designation of a new Conservation area.

The Committee was informed that on the 11 February 2008 the Council approved and adopted the second phase of the ongoing programme of Conservation Area Character Appraisals.  This involved the following three conservation areas; Muswell Hill (No.4), Wood Green Common (No.10) and Trinity Gardens (No.12).

The houses in this area were built in a wave of development of the Muswell Hill area between 1909 and 1914, predominantly containing fine examples of Arts and Crafts inspired houses of conservation area quality.  Based on its predominantly Arts and Crafts style and distinct character the area was considered to be of suitable, but independent, conservation area quality to the adjoining Muswell Hill Conservation Area and Alexandra Palace and Park Conservation Area and should, therefore, be designated as a new conservation area.   The Committee was asked to agree to the designation of a new conservation area.

Members enquired whether there had been a consultation and in response were informed that in the consideration of the new conservation area the Council’s conservation officers had taken into account all the comments received as part of the consultation carried out between 29 June and 10 September 2007 and agreed on 11 February 2008.

RESOLVED

That the designation of a new Vallance Road Conservation Area be agreed.
