About the Little Germany Conservation Area
The Little Germany Conservation Area covers about 7.2 hectares within City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 46 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 43 Grade II). The most significant is Behrens Warehouse, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
