About the Milborne St Andrew Conservation Area
The Milborne St Andrew Conservation Area covers about 19 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1995. Inside the boundary are 17 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 16 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of Saint Andrew, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
