About the Mytholmroyd Conservation Area
The Mytholmroyd Conservation Area covers about 18 hectares and was designated by Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council in 2001. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 20 Grade II). The most significant is Mytholmroyd Farmhouse, Grade II*. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 153 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
