Brantingham Conservation Area

In 2003, Brantingham Parish Council was approached by East Riding Of Yorkshire Council with a formal proposal to create a conservation area. Following discussions between both councils, a Public Exhibition was held and residents were asked to give their views on the proposal. Further discussions took place in light of the comments received and amendments were made to the original proposals. Finally, the Brantingham Conservation Area was designated on 29th June 2005. A re-appraisal was undertaken in 2010 with a view to meeting current national government requirements and an updated and extended Brantingham Conservation Area was designated in March of 2011. As shown on the map, the conservation area encompasses most of the village.

A Conservation Area is defined in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Area) Act 1990 as: “An area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”

A full explanation of what conservation areas are and how they affect you can be found in THE CONSERVATION AREA BROCHURE here.


For example, did you know that trees in a conservation area are protected? Well they are! Other areas such as planning and exterior home improvements are also much stricter in and surrounding conservation areas. The East Riding Of Yorkshire Council  has some great guides on it's website. These two in particular are well worth reading:
