Introduction
We have a duty to clearly define why an area has been designated as a conservation area, to outline its special interest and publish proposals for its preservation and enhancement. This information is given in a conservation area appraisal and management plan. As part of the work to produce appraisals we take the opportunity to review conservation area boundaries and ensure they best represent areas of special character and historic interest.

Work is also underway on reviewing the conservation areas in and around the city centre linked to a City Centre Area Action Plan being developed as part of the Local Development Framework.
We aim to have up-to-date appraisals and management plans in place for all the conservation areas. These will provide the basis for making informed decisions in the positive management, protection and enhancement of conservation areas.
As the appraisals become available they will be added to the list of downloads on the right.
