About the Broadhembury Conservation Area
The Broadhembury Conservation Area covers about 7.1 hectares and was designated by East Devon District Council in 1972. Inside the boundary are 31 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 27 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
