Decision details

Following designation of Ethelbert Road and Athelstan Road Conservation Area in January 2015 the Cabinet resolved that the designation of the remainder of the proposed areas in Cliftonville West Ward should be progressed with consultation with the public before formal designation as Conservation Areas.

Cabinet agreed the following:

1  To carry out an eight weeks public consultation exercise from 11 January 2016 to 7 March 2016 on the proposed designation of conservation areas at the Northdown Road, Edgar Road/Sweyn Road, Clifftop, Norfolk Road/Warwick Road/Surrey Road and Clifton Place/Grotto Gardens; and progress as part of the management plan for adoption as a designated Conservation Area subject to the public consultation;

2  Officers to report back to Cabinet on the results of consultation on all the proposed Conservation Areas.

To progress the development of further Conservation Areas within Cliftonville West Ward for the protection of the existing built environment.

Not to progress – This may give rise to a risk that the character of the proposed conservation areas will deteriorate over time and opportunities for potential grant funding and other investment would be lost.
