About the Egham Hythe Conservation Area
The Egham Hythe Conservation Area covers about 2.8 hectares and was designated by Runnymede Borough Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
