About the Haines Hill and Trull Road Conservation Area
The Haines Hill and Trull Road Conservation Area covers about 37 hectares and was designated by Somerset Council in 2023. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 20 Grade II). The most significant is Queens College, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
