About the STEEPLE LANGFORD Conservation Area
The STEEPLE LANGFORD Conservation Area covers about 9.0 hectares and was designated by Wiltshire Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 12 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
