A conservation management plan (CMP) is a document that helps to develop a management strategy for historic assets, sites and places. They set out the significance of the asset and examine how any future use, management, alteration or repair will retain that significance.

CMPs are used as tools to inform how particular assets can best be conserved and managed, by establishing ‘what matters’ about the asset and ‘why it matters’.

CMPs help to manage the often many different features and diverse interests that need to be considered with regard to an asset, such as biodiversity alongside economic viability. They differ from traditional management plans as they focus on the significance of the asset and how it will be managed effectively. They are particularly useful for assets such as:

* A new building in a heritage setting.
* Habitat, landscape or open space.
* Museum in a historic building.
* Building or institution with heritage assets.

Historic parks and gardens, due to their size and complexity, may require a wide range of research and survey information, however, CMPs do not necessarily need to be lengthy documents. Instead they should be compiled and structured so that they can be easily-referenced by those managing the site.

Complex sites will often have plans already but these may only focus on one type of heritage, whereas a CMP provides a holistic view and collates them all together. A CMP should be well-illustrated, with key issues highlighted in diagrams.

A property team must work in collaboration to organise and compile a CMP, with the assistance of expert consultants if necessary. The stages involved in creating a CMP include:

* Deciding why the CMP is needed and how it will be used.
* Identifying stakeholders.
* Understanding the asset.
* Assessing the significance of the asset.
* Exploring relevant issues.
* Setting policy aims and objectives.
* Implementing the CMP.
* Monitoring and reviewing the CMP.
