Abstract：

Conservation area legislation has gone through 50 years in England. Residential function is dominant or of the main function in a large number of conservation areas. Evidences show that conservation area is a popular planning tool. The paper focuses on the consensus mechanism combined with laws and regulations from conservation area system in England, and how it runs through the whole process of designation, conservation and development of conservation areas. This paper suggests that Chinese conditions should be considered when learning from England based on the consensus theory. On the one hand, it proposes to strength management planning and to improve laws and regulations so that related stakeholders and their responsibilities could be clarified clearly. Also, it recommends to set up public participation procedures, to build support networks in the consensus-building mechanism, and to explore community development planning.
