About the review
The council is reviewing conservation areas within Cheshire East. Every Local Planning Authority has a duty to review its existing conservation areas or consider designating new conservation areas. The council also needs to formulate and publish proposals for preservation and enhancement of its conservation areas.
The last review of the Alderley Edge Conservation Area was carried out in 2005. The conservation area was placed on the Historic England Heritage at Risk Register in 2009 due to pressures of development. The loss and erosion of significant elements of the conservation is undermining its significance as a designated heritage asset. The cumulative loss of villas is significantly adding to the conservation area being at risk. To tackle matters, the conservation area has been re appraised and aims to set out specific steps to positively manage the conservation area in the future.
