The Louth Heritage Group affirms the importance of maintaining our town’s valuable architecture, its green spaces, and its unique setting in the Lincolnshire
Wolds.

The Louth Conservation Area
Louth has a dedicated Conservation Area, but this does not always prevent UVPC windows and doors from appearing in properties where they are inappropriate. We consider it vital that planning officers at East Lindsey District Council uphold the planning regulations in respect of the Conservation Area, and do not turn a blind eye when transgressions occur.
Louth is fortunate to have well-preserved Georgian buildings extant. But the Louth Heritage Group also values the later architecture which characterises some of our most pleasant town streets. Louth’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces, for example, are worthy of attention before alterations and additions are granted permission. Without such consideration, our architectural heritage will be eroded day by day.
Recent innovations in planning legislation make it possible for a local authority to grant more planning applications by means of delegated decision-making. In effect it is less likely that an application will be scrutinised by the elected members of the Planning Committee. The Louth Heritage Group believes this time-saving device is unlikely to meet the requirement for full planning control over potentially sensitive and important schemes. |
