Poynings Character Appraisal and Management Plan

The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) has prepared a new Character Appraisal and Management Plan for Poynings Conservation Area.

These documents periodically review the continued need and purpose of conservation area designation, are recommended in Government guidance and have proved useful tools for effective development management.

Poynings Conservation Area has been designated since 1984 and has not been reviewed since.

A consultation draft is available for six weeks and they look forward to receiving your comments on it by the 23rd September, 2020, however, if you feel strongly about anything it would be best to get any comments in earlier as it goes to committee in October.

The final draft will be reviewed to reflect public responses, which will be reported to the SDNPA Planning Committee in the Autumn.

If you wish to make any observations, please contact HistoricBuildings@southdowns.gov.uk  or write to South Downs Centre, North Street, Midhurst, GU29 9DH.

Residents of the Conservation Area will get a letter explaining later this week

If you would like a copy of the report but do not have a printer, let me know and I will get one to you.
