The Church Gate Conservation Area Character Appraisal was adopted as Supplementary Guidance to the City of Leicester Local Plan 2006 in March 2006.
The purpose of the character appraisal is to identify, define and record the factors that make Church Gate an area of architectural or historic interest, and to assess the action that may be necessary to safeguard that special interest. The appraisal also identifies those features or problems that detract from the quality of the area and the character appraisal includes proposals and policies for the management of the area so that its character can be preserved and enhanced.
The survey and appraisal of the conservation area was carried out during 2005 following the methodology suggested by English Heritage. Following consultation with local people and other interested parties, the conservation area was formally designated by the Council in 2006. Please
