If you have any comments on the Peak District National Park Authority’s draft Appraisal of Parwich Conservation Area, you must get them in today (by 5pm Friday 23rd May).  The Appraisal process draws on guidelines from English Heritage, which can be seen at their website.  You can see the draft itself at the Peak Park’s website, and should email any questions or comments to Sue Adam (sue.adam@peakdistrict.gov.uk) today.

If you want to share any responses you get to your comments on the draft Appraisal we will be happy to post them here (just email them to parwich@hotmail.co.uk).  The Environment Group in particular feels strongly that we should all have some idea what the local consensus is and how the Authority has responded.

At present we understand the Authority plan to consider the Draft (with any amendments from the Consultation) at the July Planning Committee Meeting (click here for details).  The final draft will posted as an attachment to the Planning Committee Agenda in the week or so leading up to the Meeting.  It may be that the only way to see the amended draft will be on the Authority’s website or by visiting Aldern House.  When accepted by the Planning Committee the Appraisal will then be part of the Authority’s planning policy and will be taken into account for any local planning applications.

We also understand it is intended that the Appraisal will be used to create a Conservation Area management plan in the future, but that no timescale for this has been set.
