The Coleshill Conservation Area was established in 1992 and lies at the centre of the village, taking in some of our oldest buildings (such as Friar’s Vane and Forge House)as well as the later Jubilee Cottages. Click here to view a map of the area.
The District Council is just starting to review its 20 existing conservation areas and also considering whether to create new ones. Coleshill will not form part of the initial review phase but our turn should come within the next 18 months. At that stage we’ll be able to submit our views as part of the formal consultation procedure but it’s probably not too early to start thinking about it now. So, if anyone has any thoughts either on the Conservation Area as it exists today or on whether it should be extended (bearing in mind that there are strict criteria to be met before additions can be considered), please talk to any Parish Councillor or come along to a regular meeting and raise the issue during the democratic period.
