About the Bromsgrove Town Centre Conservation Area
The Bromsgrove Town Centre Conservation Area covers about 10 hectares and was designated by Bromsgrove District Council in 1968. Inside the boundary are 43 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 42 Grade II). The most significant is Golden Lion Public House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
