About the Bognor Regis (Upper Bognor Road and Mead Lane) Conservation Area
The Bognor Regis (Upper Bognor Road and Mead Lane) Conservation Area covers about 17 hectares and was designated by Arun District Council in 1993. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 19 Grade II). The most significant is The Dome, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
