About the GODMANCHESTER EARNING STREET Conservation Area
The GODMANCHESTER EARNING STREET Conservation Area covers about 4.0 hectares and was designated by Huntingdonshire District Council in 1972. Inside the boundary are 18 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 17 Grade II). The most significant is Tudor House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
