Conservation areas

Re-surveys 2023 to 2024

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 2023, 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 2023 to 2024 is as follows -

  • Jameson Street Conservation Area. A draft CAMP has been prepared, and boundary amendments have been proposed. Public consultation was undertaken on the proposed changes between 11 December 2023 and 22 January 2024. A review of feedback is being undertaken. Relevant amendments will be undertaken to address feedback. A report will be returned to Committee and Cabinet for the approval of adopted change in Spring 2024
  • Garden Village Conservation Area. A draft CAMP and proposals for new Article 4 Directions have been prepared. Public consultation for the adoption of the CAMP and Article 4s is taking place between 1 February and 15 March 2024
  • Spring Bank Conservation Area. The area is currently being re-surveyed. This is as part of a ‘Conservation Area Regeneration Plan’ project, funded by Historic England. A draft Character Appraisal, Shop Front Design Guide and Masterplan are being prepared. Public consultation on these documents will take place between 26 February and 7 April 2024.
