The existing use of Article 4 Directions in conservation areas, together with appraisals and associated management plans, are appropriate measures but rely on regular review and strict application of the adopted guidance.

The local plan process provides a basis for the continued update and management of Conservation Management Plans, identifying each conservation area's local identity and distinctiveness. These should identify features that typify and contribute to this special distinctiveness as well as allow for less tangible judgments of character, quality of place and special distinctiveness. The plan will be more robust where it directs future development to take account of the special, distinctive character of Conservation Areas. Review the conservation area appraisals and boundaries for both Central and Wet Dock as part of the evidence base, and consider using Article 4 directions.
