Conservation Area Advisory Committees

The Conservation Area Advisory Committees will set up a number of pilot committees for a trial period of three years.

These committees would provide an opportunity for residents, associations, businesses, local town and village societies and town partnerships to be involved as well as amenity societies and professional bodies.

The key things about Conservation Area Advisory Committees (CAACs) are that most are independent of the local planning authority. They have a broadly based membership with sufficient knowledge and expertise on conservation area matters to add real value to the planning process.

If the proposal for pilot committees is well received, we hope to proceed early in the New Year.

There are 35 conservation areas within the District and it envisaged that a handful of pilot CAACs will be set up in the New Year following a public consultation process that has just started.

People, professional bodies, amenity societies, businesses, local town and village societies and town partnerships are being given the opportunity to respond to the idea of CAACs by completing a short questionnaire, (Annex E in relevant documents).

Annex E - Questionnaire to be returned no later than 30 November 2008 and should be sent to:

Cllr Peter Gardiner (CAAC)
Lewes District Council
32 High Street
Lewes
East Sussex
BN7 2LX

or by email to peter.gardiner@lewes.gov.uk
