About the New Earswick Conservation Area
The New Earswick Conservation Area covers about 38 hectares and was designated by City of York Council in 1991. Inside the boundary are 66 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
