About the Cromer Conservation Area
The Cromer Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by North Norfolk District Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 67 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 66 Grade II). The most significant is Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
