About the Stroud Town Centre Conservation Area
The Stroud Town Centre Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares within Stroud District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 63 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 60 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Laurence, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
