Conservation Area Character Appraisals

A conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest, where it is desirable to preserve or enhance the character. They often have buildings of interest, or an important social history.

Conservation Area Character Appraisals (CACAs) help residents and the Council to understand the history of an area and why it is special. They help shape future developments and planning policies, as well as giving residents an idea of what enhancements could be made.

Character Appraisals for a number of settlements in the District have been completed - please see the documents below.

The Appraisals for Bosham, Chichester,Dell Quay, Donnington, Earnley, Fishbourne, Hunston, Midhurst, Oving, Petworth, Runcton, Selsey, Sidlesham Church, Sidlesham Quay, Somerly, Tangmere, Westbourne and West Wittering put forward proposed changes to the boundaries of the Conservation Areas. The Council has accepted all of these proposed changes.

Further appraisals will be carried out during the coming year. Details of the settlements that have been selected and consultation procedures will be posted on this page.
