About the Kings Somborne Conservation Area
The Kings Somborne Conservation Area covers about 38 hectares and was designated by Test Valley Borough Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 54 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 52 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
