6 CONCLUSIONS
6.1 Proposed Boundary of the Conservation Area
The boundary of the Lea Bridge Conservation Area has been drawn to include the
listed building and buildings of townscape merit, as well as the site of the former Lea
Bridge Dock. Consideration should be given in the future to the inclusion of the historic
waterworks and sluices to the east of the current boundary and the workers' cottages
to the west.
6.2 Conservation
The Lea Bridge Conservation Area includes a core of buildings, mainly from the C19th,
reflecting the historic uses of the River Lea. The historic buildings within the
Conservation Area, and their settings, should be preserved, as should the open nature
of the green spaces around the Conservation Area itself. The open footprint of the
former Lea Bridge Dock should also be preserved.
