Open the full check for LS1 3ADWhat a conservation area means in Leeds
Leeds must pay special attention to preserving or enhancing the area's character when deciding any application. Demolition needs planning permission, permitted development is cut back (no side or two-storey rear extensions, dormers or cladding without an application), and six weeks' notice is required before work to trees. Unauthorised demolition and tree works are criminal offences.
