In introducing the report which sought to update Cabinet on proposed Conservation Area boundary changes in Tunstall, following the recent review, the Cabinet Member for Planning drew attention that Recommendation (4) should refer to Tunstall Conservation Area not Milstead.  He spoke enthusiastically about the information documents on individual Conservation Areas in Swale which were being produced and would be available at a cost.

A Member praised all contributors and officers for producing the document.

Resolved:

(1)  That the content of the public consultation draft of the character appraisal and management strategy document produced for the review, and the representations made on this by interested parties, the details of which are set out in the report appendices be noted.

(2) That the content of the conservation area character appraisal and associated management strategy document for the Tunstall Conservation Area, as amended in response to the public consultation (set out in Appendix II) be noted.

(3) That in light of 1 and 2 above, that the Tunstall Conservation Area is of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and that as such, that it should be re-designated as a conservation area in accordance with Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990.

(4) That in light of 1 and 2 above, that the boundary to the conservation area be re-drawn as proposed in the amended character appraisal and management plan document, and that this document for the Tunstall Conservation Area be formally adopted for development management purposes.
