About the TILBROOK Conservation Area
The TILBROOK Conservation Area covers about 16 hectares and was designated by Huntingdonshire District Council in 1991. Inside the boundary are 8 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 6 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. 7 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.
