The proposed extension to the Detling Conservation Area was identified as part of the regular review of the conservation area boundary which was undertaken with the conservation area appraisal in (adopted) March 2008. Detling was first designated in September 1971 and the boundary had not been altered since that time. The records relating to the designation are no longer available.

This report has been prepared within the context of the Detling Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (Amended) 2024. The previous 2008 Appraisal recommended that in due course consideration should be given to an extension of the conservation area to encompass the area forming the former East Court. This was not implemented, and the current review proposes a larger extension to the existing boundary to include the new village green to the west, and the Cricket pitch to the east, including the Croft (Tawanda). These assets provide a public benefit, but form an important part of the setting of the Conservation Area.

The proposed document is to go out for public consultation
