Conservation

Central government expects local planning authorities to play a key role in the protection and management of historic buildings and areas.  Oxford City Council works towards this by: 

• Dealing with applications for listed building consent
• Dealing with applications to carry out works to protected trees and trees in conservation areas
• Providing advice on the repair, maintenance and alteration of historic buildings
• Making grants available to assist in the cost of repairing and renovating historic buildings and structures
• Advising on proposed changes within an historic area, including development proposals
• Advising on matters affecting the archaeology of the city
• Protecting trees that have amenity value
• Giving arboricultural and landscaping advice on development proposals
• Working with external partners to deliver a high quality environment
• Improving knowledge and understanding of the importance and value of the historic environment
