Celebrating Hackney’s past, shaping its future – since 1967

Conservation Area Advisory Committees

Conservation Area Advisory Committees (CAACs) consist of local residents and businesses as well as representatives of local historical, civic and amenity societies. They help us consider applications that may affect the character or appearance of a conservation area and assist in the formulation of conservation and design policies throughout the borough. There are six CAACs in Hackney.  Hackney Society facilitates regular meetings between the CAAC leaders and the council. Notes from these meetings are here.
