4.5 Guidelines
for the Conservation Areas
Any development within the Conservation Areas
of Olveston and Tockington must be consistent with the policies
set out in the South Gloucestershire Council Conservation
Area Advice Note14 The boundaries of the Conservation Areas
are due to be reviewed by South Gloucestershire Council. This
will provide an opportunity to consider whether there is a
case for extending the boundaries to provide added protection
for the older parts of the villages.
'Development should preserve
or enhance existing character' 15
Whilst the Conservation Areas within the Parish
are, in part, protected by specific regulations, particular
care is needed when considering any development proposals.
The special character and quality of the Conservation Areas
is fragile and could easily be eroded through inappropriate
new development and alterations to buildings and boundaries.
Conservation Area consent is usually required for any demolition
and for works to trees.
