About the Upton Park and Upton Village Conservation Area
The Upton Park and Upton Village Conservation Area covers about 15 hectares and was designated by Slough Borough Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 9 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St. Laurence, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
