About the Stamford Green Conservation Area
The Stamford Green Conservation Area covers about 30 hectares and was designated by Epsom and Ewell Borough Council in 1992. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 12 Grade II). The most significant is Christ Church, Grade II*. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 47 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.

Article 4 directions here
These overlap the conservation area. Householder directions remove more of the rights above; change-of-use ones don’t affect extending a house.
