To consider Report No. EPSH2104 (copy attached), which seeks agreement for an Aldershot Military Conservation Area.

The Cabinet considered Report No. EPSH2104, which set out a proposed appraisal and management plan, following a review of the Aldershot Military Conservation Area.

Members were informed that a consultation had been carried out on the draft appraisal and six responses had been received. A response from Savills, on behalf of Grainger PLC, stated that the proposed removal of playing fields and open space to the west of the A325 Farnborough Road from the Conservation Area would be at odds with the appraisal, which had identified the importance of open spaces as a key feature of the Conservation Area. It was, therefore, proposed that these areas should Be included within the boundary of the Conservation Area.

The Cabinet RESOLVED that the Aldershot Military Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan, to include the historic playing fields to the west of the A325 Farnborough Road within the Conservation Area, as set out in Appendix 1 of Report No. EPSH2104, be approved.
