About the Eastney Barracks Conservation Area
The Eastney Barracks Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares and was designated by Portsmouth City Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
