About the Gilling West Conservation Area
The Gilling West Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by North Yorkshire Council in 1979. Inside the boundary are 61 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 60 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Agatha, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
