About the ST GERMANS Conservation Area
The ST GERMANS Conservation Area covers about 105 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 40 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 33 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Germanus, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
