Telford & Wrekin Council and Shropshire Council will seek approval from their respective cabinets on the draft proposals to further protect the Gorge.
Unesco awarded Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site status in 1986, in recognition of the area’s record of innovation during the Industrial Revolution.Councillor Richard Overton, Telford & Wrekin Council’s deputy leader and cabinet member for housing, enforcement and transport, said: “Ironbridge is an internationally-recognised area of outstanding universal value, and one of seven designated conservation areas in the borough which we are extremely proud of.
“Through this guidance we want to underline the importance of Ironbridge in our borough and ensure it is protected for future generations in years to come.” Sustainability and conservation are key features within the document, which also seeks to support sustainable development, including improvements to the energy efficiency of buildings, while recognising the need for the protection of the historic character of the World Heritage Site.
