About the Belton-in-Rutland Conservation Area
The Belton-in-Rutland Conservation Area covers about 46 hectares and was designated by Rutland County Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 30 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 27 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
