About the PENRYN Conservation Area
The PENRYN Conservation Area covers about 46 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 199 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 196 Grade II). The most significant is Celtic Cross Adjacent to the Town Hall, 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.
