About the Barnstaple - Pilton Conservation Area
The Barnstaple - Pilton Conservation Area covers about 17 hectares and was designated by North Devon District Council in 2009. Inside the boundary are 78 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 75 Grade II). The most significant is Bull House, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, 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.
