About the Sidmouth Town Centre Conservation Area
The Sidmouth Town Centre Conservation Area covers about 29 hectares and was designated by East Devon District Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 121 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 8 Grade II*, 111 Grade II). The most significant is Royal Glen Hotel, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
