About the Reigate Town Centre Conservation Area
The Reigate Town Centre Conservation Area covers about 38 hectares and was designated by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 79 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 73 Grade II). The most significant is Reigate Priory, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
