About the Aylesford Conservation Area
The Aylesford Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 54 listed buildings (4 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 45 Grade II). The most significant is Aylesford Bridge, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
