Askrigg Conservation Area, Amendment/Planning Notice

YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY PLANNING (LISTED BUILDINGS & CONSERVATION AREAS) ACT 1990 AMENDMENT TO ASKRIGG CONSERVATION AREA
Notice is hereby given that on 28th June 2022 pursuant to section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority designated a revised boundary to Askrigg Conservation Area. The boundary of Askrigg Conservation Area is varied to exclude a parcel of land to the south west of the core of the village of Askrigg. The principal effects of being included within a conservation area are as follows:
1. The Authority is under a duty to prepare proposals to ensure the preservation or enhancement of the area.
2. That, with certain exceptions, it becomes an offence to demolish buildings within the area without first obtaining planning permission from the local planning authority.
3. Special publicity must be given to planning applications for development in the conservation area.
4. In carrying out any functions under the Planning Acts (and, in particular, in determining applications for planning permission and listed building consent), the Authority and Secretary of State are required to take into account the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the area.
5. Six weeks written notice must be given to the Authority before works are carried out to any trees.
6. The extent of works that may be carried out as permitted development without the need for planning permission is more limited for properties within the Conservation Area.

A plan showing the revised Area together with a copy of the Conservation Area appraisal is available for public inspection on the Authority's website:

and during opening hours at the Authority's offices at Yoredale Bainbridge DL8 3EL (8.30am-5pm Monday-Thursday, 8.30am-4.30pm Friday.)
