Conservation Area Advisory Groups (CAAGs)
Conservation Area Advisory Groups (CAAGs) are
small, self governing groups consisting primarily of people who are
not members or officers of the authority. CAAGs help to provide
valuable local input into conservation areas and will help to
ensure that important and much valued local sites are commented
upon in terms of new development and enhancement.
Following approval at Cabinet on 1 November
2007, Thanet District Council is helping to set up three of these
small self-governing voluntary groups in Thanet, covering Ramsgate,
Broadstairs and Margate, with each including a proportion of the
surrounding towns and villages.
Such groups will help provide valuable
dialogue between the Council and the public and may eventually be
able to set up funding initiatives to seek financial support from
outside bodies. Members of these groups are likely to include
a wide section of the community, including residents, community
representatives, local architects and historians.
