About the St George Barracks North Conservation Area
The St George Barracks North Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by Gosport Borough Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 9 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
