Â鶹´«Ã½

The Gossops Green Neighbourhood Centre Conservation Area comprises the neighbourhood centre of Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s Gossops Green neighbourhood, together with some adjacent areas of housing and open space. Gossops Green was the last neighbourhood centre to be developed by Â鶹´«Ã½ Development Corporation as part of the original Â鶹´«Ã½ New Town masterplan and the Area is considered to represent one of the more successful examples of the application of the ‘neighbourhood’ concept, with different elements, typical of post-war architecture and planning, relating to each other in a visually satisfying way.
 
Proposals for the Gossops Green Neighbourhood Centre Conservation Area, detailed in a draft appraisal and supporting consultant evidence, were subject to consultation in February to March 2021 and the Conservation Area was designated on 2 November 2022. The designation will serve to reinforce and celebrate Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s New Town character and heritage and help ensure that any development proposals are of a scale, form, and design that respects the existing character and setting of the Area. In due course a Conservation Area Statement will be prepared in cooperation with stakeholders, and once adopted this will provide a character appraisal for the Area and will set out guidance that should be followed when any development takes place.
