Conservation

Ryedale possesses a large number of attractive towns, villages and hamlets. Many of these contain areas of considerable environmental character and architectural or historic interest.

Local Planning Authorities have a duty to determine which areas in their district are of a high enough quality to be designated as Conservation Areas, those areas tend to be those that the Council feels have the most important environmental quality in the District.
