About the Sunk Island Conservation Area
The Sunk Island Conservation Area covers about 2,463 hectares and was designated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council in 1993. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
