About the Gosberton Conservation Area
The Gosberton Conservation Area covers about 16 hectares and was designated by South Holland District Council in 1972. Inside the boundary are 12 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 11 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
