About the Tadcaster Conservation Area
The Tadcaster Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by North Yorkshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 43 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 40 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
