About the THE HEMINGFORDS Conservation Area
The THE HEMINGFORDS Conservation Area covers about 363 hectares and was designated by Huntingdonshire District Council in 2008. Inside the boundary are 76 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 6 Grade II*, 67 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St James, Grade I. 190 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.
