About the No.15 St Georges Conservation Area
The No.15 St Georges Conservation Area covers about 9.9 hectares and was designated by Great Yarmouth Borough Council in 2003. Inside the boundary are 8 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 7 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary including church rooms and surrounding wall, Grade II*. 2 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
