Swiss Cottage Conservation Area Consultation

Overview

Why your views matter

This consultation seeks to assess the level of support in the local area for introduction of special planning measures to:

• protect the Swiss Cottage Conservation Area’s special character and appearance; and
• retain its attractiveness as a place to live

The special measures are known as an Article 4(1) Direction and will be applied to all houses and flats which make a positive contribution to the conservation area.  

The direction means that residents will have to apply for planning permission for works to the front of their houses and flats unless they are making like-for-like replacement to windows, doors, boundary walls and gardens.  

The information gathered at consultation stage will inform our decision whether to introduce and confirm the Direction.
