About the Edgerton Conservation Area
The Edgerton Conservation Area covers about 80 hectares and was designated by Kirklees Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 108 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 106 Grade II). The most significant is Banney Royd, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
