A good consultation meeting tonight for Belsize conservation area at Hampstead Town Hall tonight on the proposed introduction of Article Four directions - special conservation measures to help maintain what keeps Belsize special, in terms of smaller changes that are currently "permitted development rights".
We had about 35 people and a lively debate, with a broad consensus in favour of the proposed measures, but a lot of questions on the detail, and big concerns about broader planning policy. Very informative presentation by conservation officers; we've learned some lessons about how best to explain and communicate what we are proposing, which will be useful for the Hampstead and Swiss Cottage areas.
Obviously what's critical is that we get a lot of good feedback from the 7-8,000 people living in the conservation area, and so far despite postal strikes there is a strong flow of responses by email and post.
