Conservation Areas in Wigan
Conservation areas are areas of special architectural or historic interest. They are identified so they can be protected and make further improvements to their appearance.
When somewhere becomes a designated conservationon area, the following rules apply:
- Demolition of most buildings in the area are controlled, whether they are listed or not
- Trees in the area are protected
- Control is strengthened, so that the area can be preserved well and further improvements to its appearance can be made.
- Buildings of Local Interest can be identified.
The following are the 13 conservation areas in Wigan. The appraisals are excellent, providing historical contexts and points of interest, in each of the areas.
