SNN116899 - Billing Road Conservation Area: Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan

Billing Road Conservation Area is a new conservation area designation, justified by the consistently high architectural quality of the buildings which line the north side of the Billing Road and part of Cliftonville, and the contribution which they make to the urban scene. These buildings included new superior “villa” houses, the work of renowned architects. They illustrate the tastes, affluence and aspirations of Northampton residents in the second half of the 19th century at a time when an economically buoyant town was extending rapidly eastward. This document sets out the appraisal of the new Billing Road Conservation Area undertaken during March 2011.
