About the Wellow Conservation Area
The Wellow Conservation Area covers about 84 hectares and was designated by North East Lincolnshire Council in 1972. Inside the boundary are 27 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
