About the Chipping Conservation Area
The Chipping Conservation Area covers about 3.5 hectares and was designated by Ribble Valley Borough Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 25 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 23 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Bartholomew, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
