About the Monkton Combe Conservation Area
The Monkton Combe Conservation Area covers about 8.3 hectares and was designated by Bath and North East Somerset Council in 1978. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
