About the Dursley Conservation Area
The Dursley Conservation Area covers about 17 hectares and was designated by Stroud District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 66 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 63 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St James, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
