About the Upper Beeding (High Street) Conservation Area
The Upper Beeding (High Street) Conservation Area covers about 2.6 hectares and was designated by Horsham District Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 16 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
