About the Crowle Conservation Area
The Crowle Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by North Lincolnshire Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 14 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 13 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Oswald, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 21 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
