About the Spring Bank West Conservation Area
The Spring Bank West Conservation Area covers about 33 hectares and was designated by Hull City Council in 1994. Inside the boundary are 7 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
