The role of the Society is to stimulate public interest in the town, promote high standards of planning and architecture and to secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic, environmental or public interest in this area.
Weston-super-Mare first began to attract visitors over 200 years ago. During the Victorian period it grew into a town of quality and character. We have a fine heritage of handsome buildings, parks and gardens, an attractive coastline and beautiful countryside. There is much of interest and value to protect.
Civic Society Objects to Side Extension
An objection was raised over the planned erection of a two storey side extension at 183 Locking Road. The buildings either side of the entrance to Rosedale Avenue offer an appropriate sense of urban scale to the cul-de-sac’s access. The proposed side extension sits outside the established building line. (21/P/0216/FUH)
An objection was raised on the retrospective application to replace the existing fence at 37 Brean Down Avenue. The property is immediately adjacent to the Uphill Road North Sub Area of the Whitecross Character Area of the Great Weston Conservation Area. The replacement fence dominates the street scene.

An objection was raised over the demolition of existing garage and erection of a detached 1 bed dwelling at land adjacent to 2 Sunnyside Road. A previous application was made for the site and the new plans were eliminate the reasons for refusal. Unfortunately the new design is not considered in keeping with the street scene. (21/P/0076/FUL)
