About the Strand on the Green Conservation Area
The Strand on the Green Conservation Area covers about 24 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Hounslow in 1968. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 28 Grade II). The most significant is Zoffany House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
