About the Rodney Street Conservation Area
The Rodney Street Conservation Area covers about 18 hectares and was designated by Liverpool City Council in 2003. Inside the boundary are 76 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 71 Grade II). The most significant is Anglican Cathedral Church of Christ, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 4 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
