About the Sidmouth Sid Vale Conservation Area
The Sidmouth Sid Vale Conservation Area covers about 20 hectares and was designated by East Devon District Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
