About the Silver End Conservation Area
The Silver End Conservation Area covers about 40 hectares and was designated by Braintree District Council in 1983. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
