About the Hungerford Conservation Area
The Hungerford Conservation Area covers about 34 hectares and was designated by West Berkshire Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 92 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 90 Grade II). The most significant is 24, High Street, Grade II*. 7 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
