About the Storrington Conservation Area
The Storrington Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Horsham District Council in 2018. Inside the boundary are 33 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 31 Grade II). The most significant is Mulberry House, Grade II*. 58 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
