About the MEVAGISSEY Conservation Area
The MEVAGISSEY Conservation Area covers about 16 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 108 listed buildings (4 Grade II*, 104 Grade II). The most significant is 27, Polkirt Hill, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
