About the Walberton Village and Walberton Green Conservation Area
The Walberton Village and Walberton Green Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares within Arun District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 20 Grade II). The most significant is The Parish Church of St Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
