Loftus Conservation Area Management Plan SPD

The Loftus Conservation Area Management Plan Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared to provide further information on our approach to preserving and enhancing the Loftus Conservation Area and how this will be monitored. It has been adopted as an SPD in order to provide further guidance on Policy HE1 of the Adopted Redcar & Cleveland Local Plan, which sets out our policy for the determination of planning applications within or affecting conservation areas.

We undertook consultation on the Loftus Conservation Area Management Plan SPD between 13 February 2023 and 27 March 2023 and all comments received were considered, resulting in some changes to the document. The final version was subsequently adopted by us on 11 April 2024.

The SPD is supported by a revised Loftus Conservation Area Appraisal, which replaces the previous appraisal that was published in 2011. The appraisal provides a record and evaluation of the key elements that make up the special interest and character of the Loftus Conservation Area and is available to view, alongside the consultation document.
