Harrogate Borough Council

As well as promoting good design in new development and redevelopment the Council is also concerned that Harrogate District's rich and varied heritage is conserved and protected.  The Conservation & Design Team has prepared Supplementary Planning Guidance on many aspects of urban and rural design and it administers grants to further help conserve the District's built and natural heritage.  In addition, it has published many documents which catalogue the District's heritage and explain the statutory protection which it enjoys. These also contain a wealth of architectural and historic information which locals, historical societies and potential visitors alike may find interesting.
