(1) Before granting consent for development within a heritage conservation area, the consent authority must be satisfied that the features of the proposed development will be compatible with the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area, having regard to the form of, and materials used in, buildings that contribute to the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area.

(2) In satisfying itself about those features, the consent authority must have regard to the pitch and form of the roof (if any), the style, size, proportion and position of the openings for windows or doors (if any), the colour, texture, style, size and type of finish of the materials to be used on the exterior of the building, building setbacks, height, fencing style and any other matters that the consent authority considers relevant.

(3) The consent authority may refuse to grant any such consent unless it has considered a heritage impact statement that will help it assess the impact of the proposed development on the heritage significance, visual curtilage and setting of buildings within the heritage conservation area.

(4) The heritage impact statement should include details of the size, shape and scale of, setbacks for, and the materials to be used in, any proposed buildings or works and details of any modification that would reduce the impact of the proposed development on the significance of the heritage conservation area.
