About the Hurstbourne Tarrant and Ibthorpe Conservation Area

The Hurstbourne Tarrant and Ibthorpe Conservation Area covers about 30 hectares and was designated by Test Valley Borough Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 102 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 96 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
