About the Great Easton Conservation Area
The Great Easton Conservation Area covers about 30 hectares and was designated by Harborough District Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 46 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 45 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
