About the ST MAWES Conservation Area
The ST MAWES Conservation Area covers about 19 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1983. Inside the boundary are 36 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 35 Grade II). The most significant is Braganza House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
