Conservation
A Brief Overview of Winterton
Winterton, once a thriving market town, is now mostly residential. But the relationship with the countryside by the integration of farm buildings and glimpses of the surrounding landscape is an essential part of its character.
The loose-knit town, with a distinct emphasis on east-west streets, has been in-filled by successive phases of development. This development continued well into the 20th century, making the town a provider of local housing needs, rather than employment.
The Winterton Conservation Area
The buildings in the Winterton Conservation Area span several centuries, but they are united by a predominant use of local limestone, brick and tiles. The informal streets are defined by properties, which generally front directly onto them. The earlier houses date from the 17th century but most of the historic buildings are late Georgian town houses.
Most people have heard of conservation areas but few fully understand how a conservation area works. The draft appraisal for the Winterton Conservation Area provides an explanation of the workings of a conservation area and an assessment of the town's historic character and appearance.

There is also draft supplementary planning guidance available. This elaborates on the council's existing policies for conservation areas contained in its local plan. It also suggests some future courses of action felt necessary to help preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area.
