A Guide to Conservation Areas
Kenilworth Conservation Area
www.warwickdc.gov.uk
Conservation Areas: Are designated under Section 69 of the 1990 Planning Act which defines
Conservation Areas as “Areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance
of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.”
There are many different kinds ranging from whole town centres to squares, terraces and village
centres as is evident from the different characteristics of each conservation area within Warwick
District.
Conservation areas may be designated by Local Authorities, the Secretary of State and English
Heritage in London. Local residents can apply to local planning authorities to have their areas
designated.
The designation of a conservation area has several formal consequences as set out below. These
are designed to protect the best qualities of the Conservation Area for the benefit and enjoyment of
everyone.
The demolition of most buildings is controlled, requiring conservation area consent from the local
authority. It is always preferable to consult the Local Authority before carrying out demolition in a
Conservation Area. Partial demolition is not always controlled and advice can be given on this by a
Planning Officer at the local authority.
Notification of Trees Works. Notification must be made to a local authority if works are proposed on
a tree with a trunk of 75 mm diameter, or greater, at a height of 1.5 metres from the ground. If tree
removal for thinning purposes is proposed then the diameter raises to 100 mm. The Act does refer
to trees and not shrubs as this applies to timber which is 1.5 metres high with the requisite diameter
trunks. All shrubs and hedges lower than 1.5 metres can be cut back without the requirement to
make a notification. Any overhanging branches or hedges onto a highway can be cut back under
the Highway Act without the requirement for notification. Pruning fruit trees within the bounds of
good horticultural practice is permitted without the need for notification.
Once notification has been made the Local Planning Authority may do one of three things, make a
tree preservation order in the interests of the amenity of the area, decide to do nothing within a six
week period after which the proposed works may be carried out or decide not to make a tree
preservation order and inform the applicant.
It is an offence to carry out works to trees which fall within the category of notification without first
going through this process.
The amount of “Permitted Development” which can be built without Planning Permission is more
limited, although some minor extensions are still permissible without planning approval. The Local
Authority Planning Department should always be contacted before carrying out any development.
Article 4 Directions gives the local planning authority the power to restrict, selectively, certain
permitted development rights in conservation areas and could cover:- the painting of external
facades, replacement of roofs, replacement of rainwater goods, replacement of windows, replacement
of doors, external boundary treatment. Where Article 4 Directions have been designated Planning
Permission will be required to carry out works covered by the designation.
A Local Authority may apply to the Secretary of State, to designate a conservation area as an
area of special control of advertisements. Which largely effects commercial properties in the
conservation areas.
A Local Authority Planning Department must give special consideration to any new
developments or alterations to existing buildings or requests to demolish a building, to ensure
that the proposal will enhance and not detract from the quality of the Conservation Area.
Various guidance leaflets relating to Conservation Areas are available on request from Warwick
District Council and some are available on the Council’s website www.warwickdc.gov.uk and
Planning Officers at the District Council are always happy to discuss any issues relating to
Conservation Areas in the District.
Further information concerning land uses within the Conservation Area is available within
Warwick District Councils Local Plan which is also available on the Council’s website.

Conservation Area Background History
Kenilworth Conservation Area
www.warwickdc.gov.uk
The first documentary reference to Kenilworth is in the Doomsday Book of 1086 when as Chinewrde it was
a small farming village of 17 households probably in the Castle Street/High Street area. In about 1120 the
King granted Kenilworth to Geoffrey de Clinton and built the first castle. In 1122 Geoffrey de Clinton
founded the priory which became an Abbey in the mid 15th Century the remains of which are now in
Abbey Fields. He reserved for himself enough land to make a park and by the mid 12th Century had also
founded a "borough" along the Warwick Road the charter for a market being granted in 1268. The castle
park also included a large lake or mere around the castle which is said to have been the largest manmade
lake of its time. Development of the abbey in the 12th and 13th Century with substantial stone buildings
being erected has determined the layout of Kenilworth to a great extent maintaining a large open area in
the centre of the town now known as Abbey Fields. The Parish Church was probably built in the 13th
Century adjacent to the Abbey site. In 1265/6 Simon de Montfort (the younger) was besieged at the castle
at the end of the Baron's War. The castle continued to be of importance under different owners and in
1279 a great joust meeting called the Round Table was held at Kenilworth.
Improvements to the castle included the construction of the building called The Pleasance 1414 as a
moated garden and lodge adjacent to the Great Mere. In 1538 the Abbey was dissolved and the buildings
were made uninhabitable, the brethren being granted pensions. The stone from the site was then used for
various building works in the town including at the castle; the old gatehouse was later re-roofed for use as
a house until the 19th Century. The principal surviving buildings are now the gatehouse and the building
known as the Abbey Barn, together with various standing pieces of ruin including the Chapter House wall.
In 1563 the Castle was granted by Queen Elizabeth I to Robert Dudley and extensive improvements and
extensions were carried out to the castle which culminated in the visit of Elizabeth in 1575. She was then
entertained by a great pageant. It was this event that inspired Sir Walter Scott to write "Kenilworth"
supposedly in one of the rooms of the rooms of the Kings Arms and Castle in The Square.
During the 16th Century a number of timber framed houses were erected in the town which still survive,
however, the greater number of timber framed houses were erected during the 17th and 18th Century. In
1649 Cromwell's men arrived under Colonel Hawkesworth with the instruction to "slight" the castle or
make it unusable and after this had been done, with the exception of the gatehouse which was converted
into a dwelling, the mere was drained and the castle park divided up between his men and made into
farms. This saw the destruction of the castle and left it as the ruin we largely see today. In 1765 all the
common fields of Kenilworth was enclosed and divided up into allotments. This also led to the creation of
a road pattern as seen in Kenilworth today, including Leys Lane, Glasshouse Lane, Crew Lane, Albion
Street, Park Road, Malthouse Lane, Beehive Hill, Crackley Lane and Part of Red Lane.
Changes occurred in the town with the growth of light industries relating to the agricultural economy,
including horn comb making, tanning, fell mongering (skin preparation) and a short-lived Prussian Blue
manufacturing. Industrialists from Birmingham and Coventry saw Kenilworth as a pleasant town in which
to build large mansions for themselves such as Kenilworth Hall while the town started to expand with
cottages being erected in Mill End and St John's.
With the expansion of the town there was a need for more schools and churches there being 8 schools in
existence in 1831 and the first Roman Catholic school being opened in 1841. The railway arrived in 1844,
and land nearby was developed as a residential area in Station Road, in 1848, Southbank Road and
Priory Road being laid out in about 1885. The Weslyian Chapel was erected in 1844 and the
Congregational Church in 1873 and other non-conformist chapels were built between these dates.
The existence of the railway allowed for the development of the large horticultural industry which
prospered into 20th Century exporting fresh food far a field. The brick making industry also
expanded to provide for the new housing developments which were expanding from the mid
1920's onwards initially as ribbon development along certain of the roads into the town. Following
the Second World War a more planned expansion of the town has taken place, with some
significant changes to the area around the clock tower which had been partially destroyed by
enemy action in the Second World War, with the erection of Abbey End Shops, Talisman Square
and in 1965 The De-Montfort Hotel.
The significant interest of the historic parts of Kenilworth between Abbey Fields, High Street and
Castle Hill were recognised with the designation of the first conservation area in 1971. It was
followed by extensions to the conservation area resulting in the most recent extensions of 2005 to
include Waverley Road, Station Road and Clarendon Road.

St Johns Church is a key
building
St John's Church Hall and
car park are important to
the setting of St John's Church.
Important to consider immediate environs which are not in the CA as any development
would impact on the Conservation Area. (e.g. the garage site at the Warwick Road
bridge Junction).
Brick and slate and render tile buildings.
Enhanced by planters in the summer months.
Timber bus shelter important in the setting of the Conservation Area.

A Guide to Conservation Areas
Whitnash Conservation Area
www.warwickdc.gov.uk
Conservation Areas: Are designated under Section 69 of the 1990 Planning Act which defines
Conservation Areas as “Areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance
of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.”
There are many different kinds ranging from whole town centres to squares, terraces and village
centres as is evident from the different characteristics of each conservation area within Warwick
District.
Conservation areas may be designated by Local Authorities, the Secretary of State and English
Heritage in London. Local residents can apply to local planning authorities to have their areas
designated.
The designation of a conservation area has several formal consequences as set out below. These are
designed to protect the best qualities of the Conservation Area for the benefit and enjoyment of
everyone.
The demolition of most buildings is controlled, requiring conservation area consent from the local
authority. It is always preferable to consult the Local Authority before carrying out demolition in a
Conservation Area. Partial demolition is not always controlled and advice can be given on this by a
Planning Officer at the local authority.
Notification of Trees Works. Notification must be made to a local authority if works are proposed on
a tree with a trunk of 75 mm diameter, or greater, at a height of 1.5 metres from the ground. If tree
removal for thinning purposes is proposed then the diameter raises to 100 mm. The Act does refer
to trees and not shrubs as this applies to timber which is 1.5 metres high with the requisite diameter
trunks. All shrubs and hedges lower than 1.5 metres can be cut back without the requirement to
make a notification. Any overhanging branches or hedges onto a highway can be cut back under
the Highway Act without the requirement for notification. Pruning fruit trees within the bounds of
good horticultural practice is permitted without the need for notification.
Once notification has been made the Local Planning Authority may do one of three things, make a
tree preservation order in the interests of the amenity of the area, decide to do nothing within a six
week period after which the proposed works may be carried out or decide not to make a tree
preservation order and inform the applicant.
It is an offence to carry out works to trees which fall within the category of notification without first
going through this process.
The amount of “Permitted Development” which can be built without Planning Permission is more
limited, although some minor extensions are still permissible without planning approval. The Local
Authority Planning Department should always be contacted before carrying out any development.
Article 4 Directions gives the local planning authority the power to restrict, selectively, certain permitted
development rights in conservation areas and could cover:- the painting of external facades,
replacement of roofs, replacement of rainwater goods, replacement of windows, replacement of doors,
external boundary treatment. Where Article 4 Directions have been designated Planning Permission
will be required to carry out works covered by the designation.
A Local Authority may apply to the Secretary of State, to designate a conservation area as an
area of special control of advertisements. Which largely effects commercial properties in the
conservation areas.
A Local Authority Planning Department must give special consideration to any new
developments or alterations to existing buildings or requests to demolish a building, to ensure that
the proposal will enhance and not detract from the quality of the Conservation Area.
Various guidance leaflets relating to Conservation Areas are available on request from Warwick
District Council and some are available on the Council’s website www.warwickdc.gov.uk and
Planning Officers at the District Council are always happy to discuss any issues relating to
Conservation Areas in the District.
Further information concerning land uses within the Conservation Area is available within Warwick
District Councils Local Plan which is also available on the Council’s website.

Conservation Area Background History
Whitnash Conservation Area
www.warwickdc.gov.uk
The earliest settlers in Whitnash can be traced as far back as the Ancient Britons.
The Town, endowed with an ancient holy well, derived its name from the copse of Great Elms, which
are believed to be sacred by its pagan settlers. One of these Great Elms stood for many centuries at
the heart of the Conservation Area, outside St Margaret's Church.
The Church stands on a site known as St Peter's Mount, and dates back to Saxon times. Originally a
wooden structure, the Saxon Church has been twice rebuilt, once in 1100 and again in the 19th
Century. The church has had numerous rectors in its history, including Thomas Holyoke 1616-1675,
who also captained an infantry regiment for the king during the Civil War, and practiced medicine. The
Church was also witnesses to the farm labourer's strike in 1872 led by Joseph Arch, held underneath
the great elm outside. Church Lane, which borders the church and runs to the eastern end of the
Conservation Area, was once an important medieval road, known as "Regia Via".
Within Whitnash Conservation Area, there are several 17th Century black and white half-timbered
houses, such as Home Farm House which dates back to 1652. Under Norman manorial system,
Whitnash was held by Humfrey De Hasculf Mansard. It remained under the same family until 1346,
when it was sold to Thomas Savage of Tachbrook, changing hands several times until by 1800, most
of the land was held by the Earls of Warwick. In 1826 the Manor House was acquired by the Landor
family.
From the mid 20th Century onwards Whitnash developed into the modern town we see today with the
two historic core areas being designated as Conservation Areas.
