About the Kingswood Conservation Area
The Kingswood Conservation Area covers about 7.3 hectares within Stroud District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 26 Grade II). The most significant is 5 and 7, Abbey Street, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
