About the Ashford Carbonell Conservation Area
The Ashford Carbonell Conservation Area covers about 84 hectares and was designated by Shropshire Council in 1994. Inside the boundary are 25 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 23 Grade II). The most significant is Brook House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
