About the COMPTON CHAMBERLAYNE Conservation Area
The COMPTON CHAMBERLAYNE Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 18 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 16 Grade II). The most significant is Compton Park House, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
