About the Shackleford Conservation Area
The Shackleford Conservation Area covers about 21 hectares and was designated by Guildford Borough Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 17 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
