About the West Derby Village Conservation Area
The West Derby Village Conservation Area covers about 14 hectares and was designated by Liverpool City Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 18 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. 10 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 18 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
