About the Georgian New Town Conservation Area
The Georgian New Town Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares and was designated by Hull City Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 50 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 49 Grade II). The most significant is Roman Catholic Church of St Charles Borromeo with attached presbytery and associated boundary walls and railings, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
