About the BISHOPSTONE Conservation Area
The BISHOPSTONE Conservation Area covers about 8.2 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 10 Grade II). The most significant is Dovecote at Faulston House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
