About the Weston Conservation Area
The Weston Conservation Area covers about 108 hectares and was designated by North Yorkshire Council in 1994. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 9 Grade II). The most significant is Banqueting House Approximately 50 Metres East of Weston Hall, Grade I. 1 Tree Preservation Order record overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
