About the Royal Military Academy Conservation Area
The Royal Military Academy Conservation Area covers about 49 hectares and was designated by Surrey Heath Borough Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 27 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
