About the Newton Kyme Conservation Area
The Newton Kyme Conservation Area covers about 8.9 hectares and was designated by North Yorkshire Council in 1985. Inside the boundary are 14 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 12 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
