Conservation Area Advisory Groups (CAAGs)

What are Conservation Area Advisory Groups ?

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.
