About the Kenninghall Conservation Area
The Kenninghall Conservation Area covers about 29 hectares and was designated by Breckland District Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 33 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 32 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
