About the ST NEOT Conservation Area
The ST NEOT Conservation Area covers about 6.2 hectares and was designated by Cornwall Council in 1980. Inside the boundary are 16 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 15 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Anietus, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
