About the Stanton Drew Conservation Area
The Stanton Drew Conservation Area covers about 14 hectares and was designated by Bath and North East Somerset Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 19 listed buildings (4 Grade II*, 15 Grade II). The most significant is Bridge Over River Chew, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
