About the MOUSEHOLE Conservation Area
The MOUSEHOLE Conservation Area covers about 21 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 111 listed buildings (4 Grade II*, 107 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Clement (methodist), Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, 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.
