About the PORTLOE Conservation Area
The PORTLOE Conservation Area covers about 22 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 10 listed buildings, all 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.
