Latest News March 2014 : The final version of the Supplementary Planning Document is here, and the final Preservation and Enhancement Strategy Map is here.
February 2013: Last summer many contributed to the discussion concerning the appraisal of the Doynton Conservation Area. This led to a draft document being produced which South Gloucestershire Council have now opened for formal public consultation. All those in the conservation area will receive individual letters and the draft appraisal in the near future. Everyone interested in the Conservation Area is encouraged to attend an open consultation meeting in the Village Hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 12th March. The meeting is being organised by the Parish Council.
All the relevant documents are available on the South Gloucestershire website and can be accessed here.
Doynton Conservation Area
The Doynton Conservation Area was designated in 1983 in recognition of the village's historic character, rural setting and the presence of many listed buildings. Since it was first approved the conservation area has not been appraised and the views of the community about it have never been sought
South Gloucestershire Council has a duty to periodically review all conservation areas and has agreed to this being done for Doynton in association with a community-led initiative proposed by the Doynton Parish Council. A conservation area appraisal, is recognised as a "Supplementary Planning Document" and as such has status in planning discussions and decisions. This power can be strengthened by evidence of community support for it.
