Hearing Confidential Items – Misterton Conservation Area

In September and October this year the Parish Council heard and received information, in confidential session, from the Conservation Officer and considered initial draft maps about the possible designation of a conservation area. When putting any item into confidential session members do so where publicity would be prejudicial to the public interest either as it is of a confidential nature (or for other special reason).  When doing this, we record the confidential nature or special reason in the minutes, in accordance with the legislation. On these occasions we could have provided more details as to why the items were put into private session, in compliance with the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act, and apologise for this. In future we will ensure that the confidential nature of any business is clearly recorded to illustrate that the process being followed is fully compliant with the legislation.

CONSERVATION AREA CONSULTATION

Bassetlaw District Council are currently consulting on designating part of the village as a conservation area. As present the proposed boundary area is in draft form but the District Councils preferred boundary map is illustrated below. If your home would be affected by being included within the proposed boundary you should have received a questionnaire seeking your views.

If you are outside the proposed boundary then you are still welcome to submit a questionnaire to the District Council. A copy of the questionnaire can be downloaded below or hard copies are available at The Misterton Centre & Library.

There is also a leaflet on the implications of a property being in a conservation area for planning purposes.
