The Conservation and Design section prepare Conservation Area Character Appraisals and Management Plans. They are consultants on applications and appeals relating to listed buildings, locally listed buildings, buildings in conservation areas, historic parks and gardens and design proposals on major schemes.

The section has an input into the formulation of conservation policies within the local plan (LDF) and provides guidance and advice to the Planning Control Section, Council members and the public. It also proactively raises the awareness of conservation issues through: the production of guidance booklets, Civic Design Awards, enhancement schemes, historic environment management, blue plaques and a list of locally important buildings.
