About the CHARLTON (N) Conservation Area
The CHARLTON (N) Conservation Area covers about 39 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 18 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 16 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St John Baptist, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
