Meaning of preservation

Meaning of preservation - 1991 - EGCS 1991 41 .

South Lakeland DC v SoS for Environment and another CA 12 March 1991. The court attributed a wider meaning to the word preservation in Town and Country Planning Act 1971 s277(8) so that development of a new vicarage within the curtilage of the old vicarage, which did not harm the appearance or character of a conservation area was acceptable; positive contribution to the area was not required.
