The Council previously consulted on a draft Conservation Area Appraisal for Manningtree & Mistley in May 2022, followed by a further focused consultation in September 2025. These consultations generated a significant number of responses from residents, stakeholders, and statutory consultees. Following a detailed review of the feedback and further analysis of historic mapping and on-the-ground features, Officers propose targeted amendments to both the appraisal documents and the boundaries of the Conservation Area.
The proposed changes are considered significant enough to warrant a further four-week period of focused public consultation. This will include publication of updated documents and direct notification to previous respondents.
