About the Bugbrooke Conservation Area
The Bugbrooke Conservation Area covers about 22 hectares and was designated by West Northamptonshire Council in 1991. Inside the boundary are 32 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 30 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Michael and All Angels, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
