About the Puddletown Conservation Area 1 Conservation Area
The Puddletown Conservation Area 1 Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 39 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 35 Grade II). The most significant is Church of Saint Mary, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
