About the East Morton Conservation Area
The East Morton Conservation Area covers about 10 hectares and was designated by City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
