Conservation areas archive of documentation
We have received government funding to improve our planning digital data through the MHCLG Digital Planning Improvement fund: Round 2.
Conservation areas datasets were enhanced as part of the award funding. These are available from this webpage, and can be explored in the map of planning data for England: Map of planning data for England | Planning Data.
The documents available below are an archive of all documents relating to the conservation areas, historic and current, and are for information purposes only. For current planning applications please refer to the most recent character appraisals and boundary maps which can be found on our website List of conservation areas – New Forest National Park Authority.
For a more general introduction to the 20 Conservation Areas in the New Forest National Park, including planning guidance please see Conservation areas – New Forest National Park Authority.
Having designated a Conservation Area, the National Park Authority has a statutory duty to ensure that those elements which make up its special character or appearance are preserved or enhanced, especially when considering planning applications.
