About the Frampton Conservation Area
The Frampton Conservation Area covers about 109 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 28 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 24 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
