About the Egham Conservation Area
The Egham Conservation Area covers about 12 hectares and was designated by Runnymede Borough Council in 1993. Inside the boundary are 25 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 23 Grade II). The most significant is Church of Saint John the Baptist, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
