About the Peasenhall (with part of Sibton) Conservation Area
The Peasenhall (with part of Sibton) Conservation Area covers about 26 hectares and was designated by East Suffolk Council in 1972. Inside the boundary are 28 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 26 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Michael and All Angels, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
