About the Cottingham Road Conservation Area
The Cottingham Road Conservation Area covers about 9.1 hectares and was designated by Hull City Council in 2006. Inside the boundary are 9 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
