About the Brook Green Conservation Area
The Brook Green Conservation Area covers about 32 hectares within London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham’s area. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 20 Grade II). The most significant is Church of Holy Trinity, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
