About the FAR HEADINGLEY Conservation Area
The FAR HEADINGLEY Conservation Area covers about 41 hectares and was designated by Leeds City Council in 2008. Inside the boundary are 32 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 31 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Chad, Grade II*. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 142 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
