- This policy identifies ‘Areas of Special Character’ (AoSC) that the community and Advisory Panel felt had sufficient historic and heritage interest to be recognised through the Neighbourhood Plan. They do not have the same planning status as Conservation Areas but will raise the awareness of developers that there is local character in a few specified locations that should be given proper attention in the design of their proposals. For each ‘area’ the AoSC Study (Appendix A) describes the essential features of that local character.
