About the Hampton Court Green Conservation Area
The Hampton Court Green Conservation Area covers about 28 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in 2005. Inside the boundary are 33 listed buildings (4 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 27 Grade II). The most significant is Flowerpot Gate, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
