The consultation carried out in February 2024 has now closed. From this event we gained useful data and insights both from the online survey and in person events. We're now looking at finalising the document and moving onto adopting the conservation area appraisal and management plan.
The current extent of the conservation area can be found on the Regent Street, Church Street and Market Hill map.

At the moment the town centre conservation area doesn't have an appraisal or a management plan. We intend to adopt a new conservation area appraisal and management plan soon. When adopted, these will be a useful resource for the conservation and management of the area. They will also be looked at as part of the planning process for any proposals in the area.
Background to the plan
The Eldon Street High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) project is one of 68 HSHAZ schemes across the country. It's funded by Historic England and Barnsley Council. Its aim is to help restore and refresh the historic buildings on the west side of Eldon Street. The project is now being concluded.
The conservation area appraisal and management plan have been funded by the Eldon Street HSHAZ. This will be a key legacy document from the project.
