About the Coneysthorpe Conservation Area
The Coneysthorpe Conservation Area covers about 7.0 hectares within North Yorkshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings, all Grade II. 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.
