Conservation Area Appraisals (CAAs) are all about the character and importance of conservation areas and make recommendations as to how to keep them that way or improve them.
CAAs are reviewed and Draft CAAs currently open for informal consultation are listed on this webpage.
Conservation Area Appraisals are reviewed periodically. We encourage the public to view the documentation and respond to our Draft Conservation Area Appraisal consultations so that views are taken into account before Conservation Areas boundaries and Management Plans are amended.
Current consultations
We are currently consulting on the below Conservation Area Appraisals. The draft documents and how to comment can be found on our engagement platform using the links below:
The consultations are open for comment until 5pm on Friday 28 November 2025.
Consultation information – the use of AI
As part of this consultation, you will be able to generate instant AI summaries of your comments. This is optional and is part of testing ahead of potentially using this instant summarisation function for the Draft Local Plan consultation which will take place later this year. There is more information in the privacy statement, and if you have any questions you can email localplan@greatercambridgeplanning.org. Following the conclusion of the consultation all comments received will be summarised using the AI tool, will be reviewed and then published. Planning Officers will also review the original comments in full, following usual procedures. Find out more about our AI tool.
