Have your say on Brixham’s conservation future

There is still time for residents to have their say on the future of conservation in Brixham.

Torbay Council has launched a consultation on the Brixham Town Conservation Area as part of the wider Torbay Heritage Strategy.

Brixham is the first area the council will be consulting with, thanks to a major new partnership with the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s ‘Heritage Places’ scheme.

The Council recently entered into a new 10-year partnership with the Heritage Fund to support heritage within the Bay and to deliver the aims of the Torbay Heritage Strategy, which includes the updating of its existing conservation area appraisals, specifically those related to the Brixham Town, Paignton Old Town, and Torquay Harbour Conservation Areas.

Councillor Jackie Thomas, Cabinet Member for Tourism, Culture & Events and Corporate Services, said: “As a council we are committed to protecting and celebrating our local heritage, and this work will also complement a range of other projects currently taking place in the Bay, such as the Public Realm works in Torquay and Paignton and investment in Brixham Harbour, as well as the Torbay Heritage Strategy 2021-2026.”

The consultation period runs until January 16, with comments to be made online via the Torbay Council website.

Alternatively, comments can be made via email to conservation@torbay.gov.uk, by drop-off to Brixham Library, or by post to Heritage and Design Team, Planning Department, Torbay Council, Town Hall, Castle Circus, Torquay TQ1 3DR.
