Public Consultation (Now closed)

We have consulted on a proposed conservation area in the parish of Sproughton. The responses have now been analysed.

The Sproughton Conservation Area Consultation ran for a four week period, from Thursday 8 January 2026 to Thursday 5 February 2026.

You can read the draft Conservation Area Appraisal (CAA), which details the proposed designation area, and defines and evaluates the special interest of the study area.

The supporting Management Plan has not yet been drafted and did not form part of this consultation. Once drafted, the Management Plan will identify management principles for future development and opportunities, to preserve and enhance its character and appearance.

A public meeting to discuss the proposed conservation area was held in Sproughton at the Tithe Barn on Thursday 15 January 2026.

You can read the redacted comments from the public consultation.
