About the Hoddesdon Conservation Area
The Hoddesdon Conservation Area covers about 39 hectares within Broxbourne Borough Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 54 listed buildings (4 Grade II*, 50 Grade II). The most significant is Jacobean Wing (east) and Victorian Wing (north) of Rawdon House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
