Historic canals not are included within Conservation Areas in Warwick District. This key industrial heritage is an integral part of the landscape within the countryside surrounding villages and towns. Kingswood Junction/Lapworth locks and the Hatton Lock flight are renown features of the canal system.

WDC should consider the possibility of conservation area designation for the South Stratford and Grand Union Canals with other LPAs. The intrinsic value of the canal and its historic buildings are irreplaceable assets. Careful conservation management of the canals will ensure the preservation of historic buildings, structures and textures and control development along the corridor.
