About the Chillington Conservation Area Designation Document Conservation Area
The Chillington Conservation Area Designation Document Conservation Area covers about 487 hectares and was designated by South Staffordshire Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 6 Grade II*, 13 Grade II). The most significant is Chillington Hall, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
