Conservation areas exist to manage and protect the special architectural and historic interest of a place - in other words, the features that make it unique. Every local authority in England has at least one conservation area and there are around 10,000 in England.Most conservation areas are designated by the Council as the local planning authority. In conservation areas there are some extra planning controls and considerations in place to protect the historic and architectural elements which make the place special.This national dataset is “indicative” not “definitive”. Definitive information can only be provided by individual local authorities and you should refer directly to their information for all purposes that require the most up to date and complete dataset. Conservation area data has not been supplied for all local authority areas. Local authority areas without conservation area data are attributed with 'No data available for publication by HE'.Data is updated as necessary when new data is received.Further details are available on our website here -https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/what-is-designation/local/conservation-areas/Historic England Open Data Hub -https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/open-data-hub/Field nameField aliasDescriptionNameNameName of Conservation AreaDATE_OF_DEDesignation dateDesignation date of the Conservation AreaDATE_UPDATUpdate dateDate on which the Conservation Area boundary was amendedCAPTURE_SCCapture scaleScale at which the spatial representation of the Conservation Area was capturedLPALocal Planning AuthorityLocal Planning Authority responsible for the Conservation AreaUIDUIDUnique reference number from the Conservation Areas at Risk SurveyxEastingCentroid eastingyNorthingCentroid northing

This dataset is published as Open Data on Stirling Council's Open Data platform https://data.stirling.gov.uk. Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 a local authority may determine which parts of its area are of special architectural or historic interest and may designate these as Conservation Areas. The public will normally be consulted on any proposal to designate conservation areas or to change their boundaries. There are over 600 Conservation Areas in Scotland. Many were designated in the early 1970s, but some have since been re-designated, merged, renamed, given smaller or larger boundaries and new ones have been added. They can cover historic land, battlefields, public parks, designed landscapes or railways but most contain groups of buildings extending over areas of a village, town or city. Further planning controls on development can be made by way of an Article 4 Direction, which may or may not be associated with a Conservation Area.An Article 4 Direction is not a conservation designation but an additional control within such areas. It is a statement made under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011. The Direction, made by a local authority and approved by Scottish Ministers, removes all or some of the permitted development rights on an area.The effect of a Direction is that planning permission will be required for specific types of development which would otherwise be regarded as 'permitted development', i.e. development that does not require a planning application. Directions can cover a variety of minor works and might include: the replacement of doors and windows, the erection of gates, fences, garages, sheds, porches, storage tanks or the installation of satellite antennae.This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Article 4 Directions dataset also published on a Scotland-wide basis.

Conservation Areas are areas of "special architectural or historic interest", the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. Conservation Areas are designated by Dundee City Council. Protection is achieved by controlling development that affects the character or appearance through the use of Article 4 directions. This means that planning permission is required for most types of development and alterations to the exterior of a property in a conservation area.

Location of conservation areas in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Each of the conservation areas has a different character and quality which has led to its designation. Profiles of each conservation area have been prepared to provide basic information such as when it was designated and why, if it has been extended, how many listed buildings there are and if there are any extra planning controls.

These are the boundaries for Marine Conservation Zones, and Highly Protected Marine Areas, which are both designated under the Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009). They protect nationally important marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology. Sites were selected in English inshore and offshore waters to protect not just rare and threatened marine wildlife and habitats, but also the range of biodiversity across biogeographic regions. The Highly Protected Marine Areas project followed the recommendations of the Benyon review in 2022 and sites were selected to achieve the full recovery of the marine ecosystem within the site, including the biotic and abiotic elements of the seabed, water column and surface of the sea.This data layer is composed of boundaries for both Marine Conservation Zones and Highly Protected Marine Areas. These boundary polygons were developed by Natural England and JNCC through a process which involved a number of different stages including the gathering and assessment of evidence, site proposals, consultations and refining of boundaries before final site designation. The boundaries have been drawn using the wide variety of evidence which went into this process. Where inshore sites follow the shoreline, they are usually drawn to follow OS Mastermap MHW.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.

This policy will ensure that proposals for development that involve or affect a Conservation Area or its setting, adequately safeguard the heritage significance of the Conservation Area and its setting.

Location of Conservation Areas within Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.

Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are those which have been given greater protection under The Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations 1995 (Northern Ireland) (as amended). They have been designated because of a possible threat to the special habitats or species which they contain and to provide increased protection to a variety of animals, plants, and habitats of importance to biodiversity both on a national and international scale. All of the SAC sites chosen under The Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (as amended) are collectively known as the UK national site network which is a network of protected areas across the EU, which forms part of a wider international Emerald Network of Areas of Special Conservation Interest. The sites are chosen according to scientific criteria to ensure favourable conservation status of each habitat type and species. ‘Favourable conservation status’ means managing the site to ensure the special habitats and species are healthy.

This data supported prioritisation of England Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) from 2009 in the North West of England.

The area outlined contains populations of some of Britain's rarest and most vulnerable butterfly species.

The EWGS WIG grant aid was designed to support habitat restoration work for the benefit of indigenous butterflies which are threatened with extinction.

The data set encompasses all the key populations in the South Cumbria Low Fells and Morecambe Bay Limestone area at the time of was published.

The dataset contains transcripts of semi-structured interviews conducted in each of the case study area of the project with sea-users, conservation bodies and regulators and also elite interviews with regulators and Statutory Nature Conservation bodies in England and Scotland.

This socio-legal project focused on the on-going efforts to establish an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas (MPAs) as required under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (MCAA) and Marine (Scotland) Act 2010. The network comprises MPAs of international, European and national importance, including new marine conservation zones established under the MCAA and new nature conservation MPAs under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010

The project was aimed at capturing the key social and ecological dimensions of marine conservation law at this turning point by: 1) critically assessing designation and management strategies contributing to the creation of the network and 2) by loooking at the impacts of marine conservation law on the identities and roles of sea users and other stakeholders.

The project has contributed to the academic literature in this area and enabled awareness raising with stakeholders. Methodologically, desk-based analysis of marine conservation law complemented fieldwork in two case study areas in England and one in Scoltand to compare different realities. In each case study area, primary research, predominantly in the form of semi-structured interviews has been conducted with sea users (esp. fishermen), conservation bodies and regulators. The strategies for disseminating research findings have included peer-reviewed publications, presentation at academic conferences, a website, stakeholder workshops and a final symposium organised in Sept 2015 at the University of Bristol bringing together both the academics and the policy community.
