About the Slaidburn Conservation Area
The Slaidburn Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by Ribble Valley Borough Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 38 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 36 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
