Conservation areas

Re-surveys 2024 to 2025

It is common practice that a Character Appraisal should be reviewed within 5 years. Work is commencing to update Hull’s Character Appraisals. A new document will be adopted where a Conservation Area does not have one. The existing Conservation Area Character Appraisals should still be referenced. This is where relevant in the submission and consideration of planning applications.

In February 2024, we commenced a re-survey of our Conservation Areas. The aim is that each of the Conservations Areas are given a new Character Appraisal and Management Plan (CAMP). Its designated boundary will be reviewed. The scheduled work programme for 2024 to 2025 is as follows -
