Residents of Staveley are being asked by Chesterfield Borough Council to make comments and give their views of a draft appraisal on the Staveley Conservation Area. 

Staveley was recognised as being a place of special architectural and historic interest and was designated as a conservation area in January 1971.  Some of the buildings that fall within the Conservation Area include Staveley Hall (pictured above), the Church of St. John the Baptist and the Old Rectory on Church Street, The Chantry and the Old School on High Street and Ebenezer Row on Porter Street.

There are currently 11 conservation areas in the Borough each taking their character from things like their buildings, their landscape and their street alignment.

The aim of the draft appraisal is to draw out the elements that contribute to the character of the area and give the Staveley Conservation Area it's special architectural and historic interest. It helps to preserve and enhance buildings and the local landscape and strengthen planning policies and controls in the area.

Cllr Ian Openshaw, Lead Member for Sustainable Communities and Climate Change said: "The Staveley appraisal is part of the Council's ongoing review of the Borough's conservation areas. I'd encourage all of those in the local area to take part in the consultation process and provide feedback on the draft appraisal document."

Copies of the draft appraisal can be found at Planning Services reception at the Town Hall, Rose hill Chesterfield, Chesterfield Library, Staveley Library, Staveley Town Council Offices at Staveley Hall and the Council website at www.chesterfield.gov.uk/environment/planning 

For more information contact the Conservation Officer on telephone no 01246 345957 or email: jacob.amuli@chesterfield.gov.uk

The deadline for response to the consultation is 15th October 2010.
