About the Exmouth Conservation Area
The Exmouth Conservation Area covers about 39 hectares and was designated by East Devon District Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 84 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 83 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
