About the No.2 Market Place, Rows & North Quay Conservation Area
The No.2 Market Place, Rows & North Quay Conservation Area covers about 9.5 hectares and was designated by Great Yarmouth Borough Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 39 listed buildings, all Grade II. 2 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
