The area around St. George's Minster was designated a conservation area in 1997. A Conservation Area is an "area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which is desirable to preserve or enhance".
As part of the Council’s programme to review all 46 Conservation Areas that lie within the Borough, Doncaster - St. George’s Conservation Area has been assessed and a draft appraisal, including management proposals, has been compiled. The appraisal sets out what is special about the Doncaster - St. George’s Conservation Area and will also be used to guide planning decisions in the area. The management proposals give suggestions on how the uniqueness can be preserved and/or enhanced.

Doncaster's Place Survey is a statutory consultation that asks approximately 6,000 households how they feel about their local area, the services provided and improvements needed. The survey is being undertaken on behalf of the Council by Ipsos MORI and the questionnaire was sent out during late September to 6,000 households chosen at random. It is important to note that not every household will receive a copy of the survey.
The survey includes questions about your local public services, (not just those of the Council) Community safety, and your participation in the local decision-making processes. The findings from the survey will be used to see how well the Council and local organisations, such as, the police and health are doing at delivering services that matter to you and to help decide what needs to be done differently in the future.
