A conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which the Council aims to preserve or enhance. Eastbourne has 12 conservation areas.
Planning applications in conservation areas are subject to more regulations than a standard application. Applications for work in conservation areas are considered by the Conservation Area Advisory Group which then make recommendations to the Planning Committee.
In this section you can find out more about the regulations that relate to conservation areas and view maps of the 12 Conservation Areas found in Eastbourne.
The Eastbourne Townscape Guide also provides information on the Council's Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings.
