summary

Conservation Areas are areas identified as having special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which is worth preserving or enhancing.

Planning controls are tighter in conservation areas, although the level of planning control varies between buildings, depending on whether they are listed buildings, single family dwellings, commercial buildings or flats and also whether there is an 'Article 4 Direction' in place. 

The Council is required by law to review its area from time to time and consider whether there are areas of special architectural or historic interest that should be preserved and enhanced and if so, to designate them as Conservation Areas. The following is a list of those conservation areas in Brighton and Hove, their original designation dates and the dates of any subsequent amendments, such as extensions, deletions transfers and subdivisions.
