About the Morden Conservation Area
The Morden Conservation Area covers about 274 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1982. Inside the boundary are 33 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 32 Grade II). The most significant is Home Farm House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
