Councillor Ruth Brown presented the report entitled Conservation Area Reviews and highlighted the following points:

·         It has been a long time since the conservation areas were first designated. In 2019 the Council appointed some consultants to have a look at those. It was decided that Ashwell and Pirton needed a full review so the Council employed a consultant to do that. There have been some areas added in Ashwell and some added and taken away in Pirton;

·         These reports are seeking further consultation.
