About the Garden Village Conservation Area
The Garden Village Conservation Area covers about 36 hectares and was designated by Hull City Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
