About the Hunton Bridge Conservation Area
The Hunton Bridge Conservation Area covers about 8.6 hectares and was designated by Three Rivers District Council in 1984. Inside the boundary are 8 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 6 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Paul, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
