About the Colyton Conservation Area
The Colyton Conservation Area covers about 20 hectares and was designated by East Devon District Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 60 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 58 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.
