From the start, the architect commissioned to create the Spa, Richard Adolphus Came, had a vision of his own - an elegant and spacious community in a woodland setting, with broad tree-lined avenues and large residential plots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u00a0This is still percieved as one of the village's greatest assets - 'the space is the place' is an often quoted observation. To achieve it, Mr Came created a stringent set of design and planning guidelines, even specifying that Woodhall Spa should not have 'streets', a policy maintained today.<\/p>\n

All the buildings on this page fall with the Woodhall Spa Conservation Area. Conservation Areas are intended not solely to protect individual buildings but to retain and develop the general character of the area. Building uses, materials, scale of buildings, street furniture, surfacing, spaces between buildings and traffic impact are strategic, area wide issues, which may be addressed by the Council or local amenity and residents groups.<\/p>\n

The Woodhall Spa Conservation Area was designated on 17 January 1991 and it currently covers the late Victorian\/Edwardian planned area of the village including most of the pre-existing development. It also encompasses a large wooded area to the north with the Petwood Hotel in the centre of this area.<\/p>\n

A Conservation Area appraisal was conducted in 2007. This was to fulfil East Lindsey District Council\u2019s duty to \u2018draw up and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement\u2019 of the area as required by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The survey was undertaken in August 2007 and the report was published in July 2008.<\/p>\n Download the Woodhall Spa Conservation Appraisal - April 2008<\/a> \n

Although the fact that the heart of the village lies within the Conservation Area, there is a concern that 'infill' will steadily change the look and character of the village. ....<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
