About the Malton, Town Centre Conservation Area
The Malton, Town Centre Conservation Area covers about 39 hectares and was designated by North Yorkshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 163 listed buildings (12 Grade II*, 151 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Michael, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
