About the Burley In Wharfedale Conservation Area
The Burley In Wharfedale Conservation Area covers about 33 hectares within City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 38 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 37 Grade II). The most significant is Burley House, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
