Warwick Bar Conservation Area
Warwick Bar Conservation Area was designated on 25 June 1987 and extended on 31 May 2000. It lies to the east of the city centre. The conservation area contains the most complete canalside quarter in Birmingham. Its significance derives from a concentration of surviving canal structures, including basins, locks and wharves, together with a wide range of historic canal related warehousing and works. The area reflects the importance of the canal system in the growth and development of Birmingham trade and industry from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century and the city history as a focus of the waterways.
The Character Appraisal identifies the special interest of Warwick Bar Conservation Area and provides a definition of its character.
The Supplementary Planning Policies provide the framework for the preservation and enhancement of Warwick Bar Conservation Area as defined in the Character Appraisal. It is intended to guide and manage change through the promotion of good new design which responds positively to historic context. It supports and expands on the Birmingham Plan 2005 (the Unitary Development Plan).
