Views sought from residents in Rowlands Castle, Ropley, Upper Froyle and Lower Froyle
Residents of four villages in East Hampshire have the chance to contribute to a plan that will protect and enhance conservation areas in their patch.
East Hampshire District Council is currently running consultations as part of a review of four conservation areas across the district.
A conservation area recognises the unique quality of an area, protecting its special historical or architectural character.
The four conservation areas that have been reviewed are in Lower Froyle, Upper Froyle, Ropley and Rowlands Castle.
You can see the appraisals and take part in the consultations for each conservation area through the links below

Each new appraisal has been prepared to document and explain why the conservation area is important, as well as provide guidance on how to protect and enhance it.
The purpose of the appraisals is to:
- record and analyse the special interest of the conservation area;
- recognise the designated and non-designated heritage assets within the conservation area (i.e. listed buildings/structures and unlisted historic buildings/structures of merit);
- identify issues relating to condition and detracting features, as well as opportunities for enhancement; and
- set out guidance and recommendations for the positive management, preservation and enhancement of the conservation area.
Residents have until Thursday 27 November to take part in the consultation.
