Changes to city conservation area proposed

The proposals include removing some side streets from the conservation area as they "no longer contribute towards the special interest"

People are being urged to have their say on proposed changes to a conservation area in Hull.

The city council has proposed changing the boundary of the Beverley Road Conservation Area.

Under the plans, the authority said several streets would be removed from the list, while a section of the Newland Conservation Area would be added.

The conservation area was adopted by the council in 1994 and provides heritage protection for buildings between the Spring Bank junction and Cottingham Road.

The area has recently been subject to a new survey.

The council is proposing to remove Park Lane, Terry Street, St Hilda Street and Endeavour Learning and Skills Centre, Cave Street, Rose Mews and Temple Street, as they "no longer contribute towards the special interest" of the conservation area.

Proposals also include transferring the north side of Beech Grove from the Newland Conservation Area to Beverley Road.

Nine properties would be added to the local heritage list, including the masonic lodge on Beverley Road, and there are plans to adopt a new character appraisal and management plan for development or alterations in the conservation area.

Councillor Paul Drake-Davis, portfolio holder for regeneration, said: “Beverley Road Conservation Area is one of Hull’s largest conservation areas, characterised by a great variety, such as historic and more modern buildings.

“We have seen the way in which the public have engaged through our previous consultations for other conservation areas and we look forward to hearing their views for Beverley Road.”

A drop-in session will take place at Beverley Road Baths on 25 July, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

People can also take part in the consultation by visiting the council's website.
