About the Loftus Conservation Area
The Loftus Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares and was designated by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 31 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
