East Suffolk Council is inviting people to have their say on a series of proposed changes to conservation areas in the seaside town of Southwold.
Under proposals, the existing Southwold Conservation Area would be extended to become amalgamated with the northern part of the Southwold Harbour and Walberswick Quay Conservation Area.
The proposals also comprise a further six extensions to the existing Southwold Conservation Area.
David Ritchie, East Suffolk Council cabinet member for Planning and Coastal Management, said: “Southwold is among the most picturesque and popular locations in the district and already has a conservation area that includes much of the historic town.
“Local planning authorities are required to periodically review which areas hold special architectural or historic interest and should be designated as conservation areas.
“The last review of Southwold was in 2008, so it’s time for us to consider whether other parts of the town are also worthy of designation, or of being added to the existing conservation area.”
East Suffolk Council has written to householders whose properties would be affected by the proposals.
