Purpose

A draft conservation area character appraisal
and management proposals have been prepared for the Radstock
Conservation Area, including proposed changes to the boundary.
Public consultation needs to take place on these proposals. Once
finalised the appraisal will support development management
decisions regarding the conservation and enhancement of local
character, as well as informing current and future council
strategies for this area.

takes place from November 2025 on the draft Radstock Conservation

its conservation areas. It will enable better informed development
management decisions to be taken regarding the conservation and
enhancement of local character and also
inform current and future council strategies.
