About the West Lulworth Conservation Area
The West Lulworth Conservation Area covers about 54 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 39 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 38 Grade II). The most significant is Little Bindon, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
