About the Brockhall Conservation Area
The Brockhall Conservation Area covers about 74 hectares within West Northamptonshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 12 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 9 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.
