Havering Council Launches Conservation Areas Consultation To Keep Areas Protected.

‘These areas must be protected for generations to come. I welcome that Havering Council are reviewing our local Conservation Areas which I hope will help to protect buildings and land will from developers who don’t take account of our local heritage.‘-Andrew Rosindell MP

Conservation Areas are areas which have been designated because of their special architectural or historic interest.

Havering has 11 Conservation Areas, each with an adopted Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (CAAMPs). These CAAMPs help to ensure Conservation Areas are protected from unsympathetic development and alterations. 

CAAMPs for Romford, Rainham and Gidea Park were adopted in 2008 and are considerably out of date. The Council has been working with consultants Purcell to update the CAAMPs for these three Conservation Areas.

CAAMPs have been drafted for Romford, Rainham, and Gidea Park and the Council are now seeking comments on the documents. 

The draft CAAMPs are available to view and download at the bottom of this page.

The Council will be holding an event in each Conservation Area to discuss the document and to gain your views and feedback. There will be a presentation for 20 minutes at the start of the session and then the rest of the time is free to ask questions. Full event details are under the ‘events’ heading. All are welcome to attend.

The Member of Parliament for Romford, Andrew Rosindell MP, told the Havering Daily:

“Romford, Gidea Park and Havering-atte-Bower has many historical buildings which reflect our town’s character and identity. These areas must be protected for generations to come. I welcome that Havering Council are reviewing our local Conservation Areas which I hope will help to protect buildings and land will from developers who don’t take account of our local heritage. I would encourage everyone to send in their feedback to Havering Council to ensure our Town and Borough’s history is preserved.”
