About the FITTLETON AND HAXTON Conservation Area
The FITTLETON AND HAXTON Conservation Area covers about 19 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1981. Inside the boundary are 19 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 18 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
