The Conservation Area exists to retain and enhance the distinctive character of the village. In particular:
  • To encourage the maintenance and repair of all buildings and other features which make a positive contribution to the character of the area and thereby secure their retention for future generations.
  • To ensure that any development, redevelopment or alteration is of a similar scale with adjacent buildings, and that the design and materials are sympathetic to the character of the surroundings.
  • To ensure that the trees and woodlands are protected and, where appropriate, made the subject of a Tree Preservation Order.
  • To ensure that all planning applications are advertised so as to inform members of the public.
More details will be published here shortly. For definitive copies of the Conservation Area Map and Regulations contact: The Planning Department, West Northamptonshire Council, The Forum, Moat Lane, Towcester NN12 6AD.

A leaflet from South Northants Council describes the Milton Conservation Area which was first designated in 1991. The leaflet describes the area, its buildings, their setting, and their features. Although the leaflet is now a few years old, much of what is stated still stands today. This includes advice on protecting the area and some general guidance on what owners of property in the area must do. Please note that the original conservation area has been extended since the leaflet was published, and the map shown above on this page defines the area as of November 2009. Attention is drawn to requirements for work on all trees in the area and also to all trees outside the area, which are subject to tree preservation orders. If in doubt, please check with South Northants Council. Some recent additions have been made to the list of trees with preservation orders. Landowners affected will have been informed.
