Do you know if your Lincoln dream home might be in a designated at risk conservation area?

Local authorities designate conservation areas to preside over change in residential areas that people want to protect from unsympathetic development. Unfortunately however, many are not being properly managed e.g. removal of boundary walls and hedges.

The following conservation areas are reported as at risk:

• Cathedral and City Centre, Lincoln - at risk, unknown vulnerability and deteriorating.
• St Peter at Gowts, Lincoln - at risk, unknown vulnerability and deteriorating.

What is a TPO?

Trees in Lincoln subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) may not be cut down, uprooted or lopped without consent from the local council, and causing wilful damage or destruction of a protected tree is a criminal offence. In order to approve consent, the local authority may request that replacement trees be planted. It is a breach of planning control to remove any trees the original developer was obliged to plant, but a TPO may or may not also be in effect. If a seller knows that there is a TPO affecting his property it will save time to obtain a copy of the order when the property is put on the market.

Planning consent may be required for minor works to homes in Lincolnss Conservation Areas of St Catherines in the south, Newport in the north, Brayford, West Parade, parts of Monks Road, Nettleham Road, and Carline Road.
