Conservation areas

Enfield has 22 conservation areas which we have a duty to preserve and enhance. Part of this duty involves reviewing ‘character appraisals’ of each area, as well as management proposals.

A character appraisal is an in-depth look at all buildings and spaces of significance, and anything that makes an area distinctive. A management proposal looks at the specific ways to preserve and enhance the area. In particular, management proposals set out a plan for the next 5 years.

To protect particularly important features in a conservation area, we may issue an article 4 direction. This means that if you are planning any development, you will have to submit a planning application for certain works that would not normally require it. You will find links to article 4 directions in the relevant conservation area pages.
