About the Richmond Green Conservation Area
The Richmond Green Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in 1969. Inside the boundary are 68 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 12 Grade II*, 53 Grade II). The most significant is 1-4, Maids of Honour Row, and gates and railings, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
