About the BROUGHTON GIFFORD Conservation Area
The BROUGHTON GIFFORD Conservation Area covers about 43 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 18 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
