A new character appraisal has been adopted for St Andrew’s Dock Conservation Area.
As part of Hull City Council’s ongoing review into each of its 26 conservation areas, public feedback was garnered to help to shape one of Hull’s most historic parts.
The new character appraisal identifies remaining special interest of the conservation area and the historic and communal values of St Andrew’s Dock, a section of Hull with rich fishing heritage.
It replaces the previous appraisal published in 1996 and will be used as a guide for future building or development proposals and decision making for the dock.
The new character appraisal also helps to prevent further old buildings being lost.
Chris Jackson, director for regeneration and partnerships at the council, said: “St Andrew’s Dock Conservation Area is one of the most important and visible areas of maritime heritage outside the city centre.
“Therefore, it is crucial that it is preserved correctly whilst also aligning with modern building standards.
“We would like to thank those who took part in our public consultation to help to shape the updated character appraisal.”
