St Annes Ward Conservation Area Application Submitted

After the loss of Shirley Croft Hotel a number of us got together and agreed that a more proactive position is needed to save our local heritage. As a result of further discussions with English Heritage and the Victorian Society, and, supported by local historian Malcolm Knapp  - Grantham Conservation Society and Courtnay Finn - Grantham Civic Trust a new active Conservation Group has been set up.

Any local residents interested in actively protecting our natural and built heritage are welcome to join us. Conserving Grantham members have drafted the St Annes Ward Conservation Area Application which has been submitted to South Kesteven District Council, in our first bid to protect local landmarks and streetscenes. The bid includes the hill from the Hills and Hollow across to Somerby Hill, the Victorian housing of the industrial era in St Catherines Road, Harrowby Road, Dudley Road, Bridge End Road, London Road (parade of shops), the Universities Square block including College St and Oxford St.
The Earl of Dysart houses in Houghton Rd, Albert St and Edward St are also included.
We have included Wyndham Park and Dysart Parks and the walkway along the River Witham.

For full details of our application please feel free to contact me.
A six week public consultation period will take place once the council have reviewed the application.
