About the Sutton Park and Sutton Green Conservation Area
The Sutton Park and Sutton Green Conservation Area covers about 218 hectares within Woking Borough Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 10 Grade II). The most significant is Sutton Place Including the Service Court Yard, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
