As part of the review process, we are now inviting comments on the Preston Crowmarsh Conservation Area Appraisal document. The document details a number of proposed changes to the conservation area boundary as follows: 

  • Alterations to the conservation area boundary southwards to include the properties, plots, fields and land to the south of the current boundary up to the field boundary to the south of Crowmarsh Battle Farm.
  • A small boundary correction extending the boundary slightly to the east of No 75 and 77 Crowmarsh Lane to include the full extent of their curtilage. 

More detail on the proposed changes can be found in Section 7 of the appraisal document.

We are inviting your comments on the proposed changes during a four-week consultation period which runs from Wednesday 10 September until 11.59pm on Wednesday 8 October 2025.

What happens next?

After the consultation period ends, we will consider your comments and make appropriate changes to the draft document and boundary revision before we proceed to adopt it via the council’s cabinet process. Once adopted, we will publish the cabinet report, new conservation area appraisal document and adopted revised boundary on our website.
