[12.05.25] Edgbaston Conservation Area consultation: The policies and plans for the Edgbaston Conservation Area were last updated over 40 years ago. These are key documents for planning and development decisions by the Local Planning Authority, Birmingham City Council (BCC) and are still used in their present form.
There is now a proposed update to account for changes in the area’s architectural characteristics and the consequences of developments in urban planning. The latest Conservation Area and Management Plan (CAAMP) will be open to public consultation during the period 19th May to the 16th July 2025 on the Birmingham City Council website.
To facilitate understanding and scope of the CAAMP there will be three consultation “drop in” sessions where questions and comments can be put to Birmingham City Council Officers from the city’s Planning Directorate. These sessions are at three different times and locations:
> 21 May 13:00 to 16:00 at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, 7th Floor West Wing, 54 Hagley Road, Birmingham B16 8PE
> 27 May 17:00 to 20:00 at Donald Insall Architects, 60 Harborne Road.
> 4 June 13:30 to 16:30 at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
The sessions will be hosted by kind provision of those organisations. CRS Committee would strongly suggest that you attend one of these sessions to become fully familiar with all aspects of the proposals.
The CAAMP document will be available on the BCC website from 19th May, where formal comment may be made.
