80conservation areas
34,024homes with an EPC inside them
44.3%solid walls, no insulation

No conservation area in Leeds has an Article 4 direction taking away permitted development rights over windows, the roof, solar panels or heat pumps: 31 have directions about other things, and 49 have not published theirs. So the general conservation area rules apply: solar panels on the roof slope, a heat pump at the back and internal wall insulation usually need no planning permission, while external wall insulation and a heat pump facing the road need it.

City centre and villages

In Leeds City Centre, 12% of the 2,381 homes have solid walls without insulation, only 11% have gas, but there are 256 listed buildings. In the largest conservation area, Morley, 60% of 2,780 homes have such walls, in Farsley 79% of 837. In Roundhay it is 27% across 2,165 homes; across all Leeds conservation areas 44.3% (England: 48.7%).

Heat pumps

The EPC register for November 2026 found 131 heat pumps in the conservation areas, most of them in Headingley, 16. Check your address against the area page or with the council. The rules are national as at 21 October 2026; the planning decision rests with Leeds council.
