About the BRAMHOPE Conservation Area
The BRAMHOPE Conservation Area covers about 67 hectares and was designated by Leeds City Council in 2011. Inside the boundary are 15 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 14 Grade II). The most significant is Puritan Chapel, Grade I. 103 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
