About the Piddletrenthide Conservation Area
The Piddletrenthide Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 21 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
