cores of historic interest. The analysis of these is set out in detail in the Ickford
Built Heritage Assessment. The Assessment also details positive features of the
area (views, trees, listed buildings and buildings of local note).
7.10 All planning applications within the conservation area should explain
how the design of proposals have sought to sustain or enhance positive features of
the area identified in the Built Heritage Assessment.

POLICY BEH2: DESIGN IN THE CONSERVATION AREA

Proposals for development must demonstrate that they aim to preserve or
enhance the character or appearance of the Ickford Conservation Area as
detailed in the Ickford Built Heritage Assessment.

All planning applications within the conservation area must demonstrate
how the design of proposals have sought to preserve or enhance positive
features of the area.

All planning applications should achieve a high standard of design
The design of development proposals should reflect the style of existing
buildings and the character of the streetscape in respect of the use of
construction materials, and finishes for buildings and extensions. New
buildings should be of a scale, size, and proportion so as to to complement
the character of traditional buildings and reflect the traditional building
material palette utilised in the village.
