About the Felpham Conservation Area
The Felpham Conservation Area covers about 9.0 hectares within Arun District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 16 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 14 Grade II). The most significant is Blake's Cottage, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
