About the ROUNDHAY Conservation Area
The ROUNDHAY Conservation Area covers about 526 hectares and was designated by Leeds City Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 39 listed buildings, all Grade II. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 290 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.
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.

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