The street’s last appraisal was done in 2006
Hull City Council has launched a public consultation on proposed alterations to the Coltman Street Conservation Area. Residents, visitors and property owners of the area are invited to view the proposals and share their thoughts.
The street, which connects Anlaby Road and Hessle Road, sits within Hull City Council‘s St Andrew’s & Docklands ward. It covers over 9 hectares and, as of the area’s last appraisal in 2006, contains 11 listed buildings.
The street is named after Reverend Joseph Coltman (1775-1837), a member of the wealthy landowning Coltman family, according to the area’s 2006 appraisal. Conservation area status was granted in March 1994.
Adoption of a new character appraisal and management plan is now suggested for the area which is characterised by Victorian buildings. Any updated plans would take into consideration how best to preserve and enhance the area’s listed buildings, as well as providing clarity and guidance for future developments.
A public consultation will run until Monday, December 15, with an in-person session being held in Western Library on Boulevard from 2pm until 6pm on Thursday, November 13. An online survey can be completed here, while site notices have also been put up in the area.

A copy of the consultation documents will also be left in Hull Guildhall’s reception on Alfred Gelder Street. Feedback can also be given in writing via letter to Nabhaa Shetty, conservation officer, Hull City Council, Guildhall, Alfred Gelder Street, HU1 2AA or via e-mail to dev.control@hullcc.gov.uk.
Cllr Paul Drake-Davis, portfolio holder for economic renewal, housing and organisational development at the council, said: “This latest resurvey and public consultation demonstrates the council’s commitment to ensuring each of our city’s conservation areas are up to date. At the same time, it is important a conservation area’s special character and appearance is preserved.
“We cannot do that without the feedback from those who live, work and socialise in the area, so it’s key that people provide their opinions over the coming weeks.” More information on Hull’s conservation areas is available at Conservation areas | Hull.
