Additional protection to Conservation Areas
Closed 13 March 2020
Following a process of Conservation Areas appraisals, the council is proposing to introduce additional protection to three Conservation Areas within Newport: Caerleon, Stow Park and The Shrubbery.
This additional protection comes in the form of an Article 4(2) Direction which means that some alterations to a domestic property within either of the three conservation areas, cannot be made without the need for planning consent e.g. removal or renewal of windows and doors.
Follow the links to view the Article 4(2) Directions in full:
The directions were sent to each property within the Conservation Area.
It is important to note that the effects of the Article 4(2) Directions are in place as of the 14 February 2020 yet are subject to consultation. Following the consultation period, the council will consider the responses received and consider whether to formally confirm the Direction. Conformation will be send to those properties directly affected
