Overview

Information about the proposals:

Birmingham City Council has recently undertaken a review of the Edgbaston Conservation Area along with its neighbouring Conservation Areas of Ryland Road and Lee Crescent Conservation Areas. This is in line with the Council’s statutory duty under Section 69 and 71 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 which requires the extent of these designations and any supporting management plans to be updated, consulted on and published.

The CAAMP proposes amendments to the existing boundary including the following areas: Somerset Road, Westfield Road, Hagley Road, High Point, Ryland Road, along with other minor changes including several areas recommended for Article 4 Directions at Farquhar Road, Estria Road, Frederick Road and Sir Harry’s Road.
