Conservation Areas Review Phase 3
A conservation area is defined as 'an area of special architectural or historic interest the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance'. Bexley has 23 conservation areas and is publishing area appraisals and management plans to guide the future management of these important areas. As part of a review of conservation areas, the Council is consulting on draft area appraisals and management plans for two conservation areas:
Iron Mill Lane, Crayford
The Conservation Area covers the hill-top area of Crayford, centred on the Church of St. Paulinus, set in its traditional churchyard. Both the churchyard and part of the northern side of the High Street are characterised by large retaining walls. In the remainder of the Conservation Area, Nineteenth Century and earlier properties include almshouses and a coaching inn.

Foots Cray
The Conservation Area centres on the historic core of Foots Cray Village. The High Street retains a number of historic buildings, set among later developments, mostly of small scale. Rectory Lane retains its domestic character and merges into open countryside at Foots Cray Meadows.
