About the Shenley Village Conservation Area
The Shenley Village Conservation Area covers about 61 hectares and was designated by Hertsmere Borough Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 19 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
