Conservation Area Appraisal programme 2021-23
Between 2021 and 2023, the Conservation and Urban Design team embarked on a process of reviewing and updating the borough's conservation area appraisals.
As a result of this process, eight conservation area appraisals were drafted. We held a consultation to gather views on these between 10 February and 24 March 2023.
Consultation responses
All consultation responses received were reviewed. A detailed response table for each conservation area appraisal is set out below.
- Alton conservation area responses
- Old York Road conservation areal responses
- Wandsworth Town conservation area responses
- Garrads Road conservation area responses
- Old Devonshire Road conservation area responses
- Sutherland Grove conservation area responses
- Battersea Square conservation area responses
- Magdalen Park conservation area responses
New conservation area appraisals
Following the consultation, changes to the appraisals were made as required.
The eight conservation area appraisals were adopted under delegated powers on 31 August 2023:
- Alton Conservation Area Appraisal
- Old York Road Conservation Area Appraisal
- Wandsworth Town Conservation Area Appraisal
- Garrads Road Conservation Area Appraisal
- Old Devonshire Road Conservation Area Appraisal
- Sutherland Grove Conservation Area Appraisal
- Battersea Square Conservation Area Appraisal
- Magdalen Park Conservation Area Appraisal
Magdalen Park Article 4 Direction
As part of the consultation in early 2023, an immediate Article 4 Direction was imposed on parts of Magdalen Park Conservation Area. To make this Direction legally binding, it needed to be confirmed within six months of it being made, either through presentation at Committee or under delegated powers.
At a meeting of the Transport Committee and subsequently the Executive in July 2023, the decision was made not to confirm the direction. Accordingly, the Article 4 Direction was removed and therefore all properties will no longer be affected by the Direction. Local Land Charges and all affected properties have been informed.
