Havering Council is encouraging residents to share their views on updated Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plans (CAAMPs).
The new consultation covers three of the borough’s historic Conservation Areas: Langtons, RAF Hornchurch, and Havering-atte-Bower.
Conservation Areas are designated for their special architectural and/or historic interest, helping to protect the unique character of places that are valued by the community.
Havering currently has 11 Conservation Areas, each supported by an adopted CAAMP to guide development, ensure sympathetic change, and support long-term preservation.
The existing CAAMPs for Langtons, RAF Hornchurch and Havering-atte-Bower were adopted in 2011 and 2012.
More recently, the Council has been working with heritage consultants Purcell to update the documents, ensuring they reflect current policy, local character, and community priorities.
Residents and businesses are now invited to review the updated CAAMPs and share their feedback through an online survey. You can view the documents and survey here.
The consultation is open until Wednesday 22 April 2026.
As part of the consultation, the Council will also be hosting a series of public events, offering an opportunity to learn more about the updated plans, ask questions, and speak directly with planning officers and consultants.
Each session will include a short presentation followed by time for discussion.
All residents are welcome to attend:
- Langtons CAAMP - Monday 23 March 2026, 11 am to 12.30 pm, Langtons House, Billet Lane, Hornchurch, Essex RM11 1XJ
- RAF Hornchurch CAAMP - Monday 23 March 2026 , 2 pm to 3.30 pm, Hornchurch Library, 44 North Street, Hornchurch RM11 1TB

Councillor Graham Wiliamson, Cabinet Member for Development and Regeneration, said:
“Our Conservation Areas are an important part of Havering’s heritage, and these updated plans will help protect their character for the future.
“We want residents to help shape that work by sharing their views.
"I encourage everyone who cares about these historic places to take part in the consultation and attend one of the events.”
