This Character Statement provides an objective assessment of the character and appearance of the Queen's Park conservation area which will inform future management and development proposals in the area. These may include a tightening of planning controls by introducing an ‘Article 4 Direction’ to remove rights to carry out certain types of works under ‘permitted development’ regulations.

Comments on the draft Queen’s Park character statement, including a possible extension to the conservation area boundary and the potential removal of certain ‘permitted development’ rights, can be made via the Consultation Portal from 9am Monday 23rd April 2018 until 5pm Monday 21st May 2018.
