Conservation areas

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, the Council commenced a re-survey of its Conservation Areas. The aim is that each of the Conservations Areas will have a new Character Appraisal and Management Plan (CAMP) and their designated boundaries will be reviewed. The scheduled work programme for new surveys for 2025-2026 is as follows -

• St Andrew's Quay - Assessment of the condition and significance of the Conservation Area has been completed. Plans to undertake public consultation are being considered.
• Georgian New Town Conservation – Re-survey of the Conservation Area has been completed and public consultation will take place in late 2025 or early 2026.
• Newland Conservation Area – Re-survey of the Conservation Area is in progress.
• Princes Avenue Conservation Area – Re-survey of the Conservation Area has been completed and public consultation will take place in late 2025 or early 2026.
• Coltman Street Conservation – Resurvey of the Conservation Area has been completed and public consultation will take place in late 2025.
• Holderness Road (West) – Re-survey of the Conservation Area will take place in late 2025.
