Residents, businesses and property owners of Princes Avenue Conservation Area are invited to help shape its future by taking part in a public consultation.
Community feedback will be taken from today, Wednesday 19 November, following resurvey results which assessed how the conservation area has changed in the last 20 years.
A new character appraisal and management plan (CAMP) has been proposed, providing management guidance on how the area’s special interests can be preserved or enhanced.
Some parts of Princes Avenue have been identified as vulnerable due to negative changes, and the resurvey seeks to ensure that these are stopped and that the architectural value of Princes Avenue preserved and enhanced.
In contrast, 80 Princes Avenue has been identified as being one of the best-preserved shop fronts along the street and is being proposed for addition to the Hull Local Heritage List.
The survey is part of Hull City Council’s project to update and adopt CAMPs for all 26 of its conservation areas.
The council is now beyond halfway of the process, with Princes Avenue being the 14th area to have been resurveyed.
Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, the council’s portfolio holder for economic renewal, housing and organisational development, said: “Princes Avenue is one of Hull’s most popular areas for socialising.
“As it continues to move forward with the ever-changing hospitality sector, it is important that we recognise the area’s heritage and ensure that buildings are preserved correctly.
“We’ve had great feedback from the public in previous consultations and the council looks forward to similar once again.”
The public consultation is now open until Monday 12 January 2026.
A drop-in session will take place a Princes Avenue Methodist Church, 91 Princes Avenue, HU5 3QP, on Monday 1 December from 3-7pm.
Site notices are being displayed in the area and letters have been issued to businesses on Princes Avenue.
