About the LOWER FORE STREET, SALTASH Conservation Area
The LOWER FORE STREET, SALTASH Conservation Area covers about 6.4 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1993. Inside the boundary are 14 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 13 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Faith, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
