Areas and buildings of character and historic interest within the city that are subject to special planning controls.

Conservation areas are parts of the city where special planning controls apply.

If you want to demolish a building or structure within a conservation area you may need planning permission for relevant demolition,

All trees in conservation areas are subject to planning control.

Some properties within the Canning Circus, Sneinton, Strelley Village and Waterloo Promenade Conservation areas are subject to 'Article 4 Directions'.

We have prepared Character Appraisals and Management Plans for many of the conservation areas. These set out detailed descriptions of the character and guidelines for planning decisions.

Buildings of special architectural or historic interest are 'listed', and are graded I, II* and II according to their importance.
