About the Kilmersdon Conservation Area
The Kilmersdon Conservation Area covers about 33 hectares and was designated by Somerset Council in 1985. Inside the boundary are 29 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 23 Grade II). The most significant is 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.
