Gedling Conservation Area Consultation

The Council consulted on a new conservation area for Gedling Village and a draft Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Plan between 10th February and 24th March 2025. Our interactive website provides an overview of the proposals. The draft appraisal and a map of the proposed conservation area can also be viewed by clicking on the links below.

Following this consultation, the comments received will be carefully considered and, where appropriate, amendments made prior to the document being formally adopted later in 2025.

Conservation areas

Areas of special architectural or historic interest are designated as Conservation Areas to help preserve and enhance them for future generations.

There are six designated Conservation Areas in the Borough. You can click on the name below to view the Conservation Area Appraisal.

Each of these areas are reviewed through a programme of appraisals, which are intended to highlight qualities of the area that we see as worthy of protection and enhancement. Once completed, these appraisals will be subject to ongoing monitoring and review.

These appraisals also provide a framework for future development and decision-making by:

  • Considering how social and economic change is reflected in the current layout of streets, buildings and open spaces
  • Describing the origins and development of areas
  • Identifying prominent historic buildings, as well as local building materials and styles

The appraisals are aimed at anyone with an interest in the area, whether they are a local resident, planner or developer.
