About the BULFORD Conservation Area
The BULFORD Conservation Area covers about 8.3 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1985. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 12 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Leonard, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
