About the HOMINGTON Conservation Area
The HOMINGTON Conservation Area covers about 9.0 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 10 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary the Virgin, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
