Council plans to add to conservation area
Gosport Borough Council launched a consultation today asking people for their views on proposed changes to the Bury Road conservation area, which protects important buildings in the neighbourhood.
The council is proposing to re-draw the area to include more buildings, helping to make sure they are protected from inappropriate development.Â

The buildings being proposed for removal are 1-2 Wilton Close, 16 Privett Road and 64 Foster Road.
