About the Sneyd Park Conservation Area
The Sneyd Park Conservation Area covers about 142 hectares and was designated by Bristol City Council in 1981. Inside the boundary are 24 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 23 Grade II). The most significant is Stoke House, Clifton Theological College, And Attached Rear Kitchen, Grade II*. 559 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
