About the St George's Square Conservation Area
The St George's Square Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares and was designated by Worcester City Council in 1980. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
