About the Hewell Grange Conservation Area
The Hewell Grange Conservation Area covers about 159 hectares within Bromsgrove District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 22 Grade II). The most significant is Hewell Grange, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
