About the Lullington and Orchardleigh Conservation Area
The Lullington and Orchardleigh Conservation Area covers about 196 hectares and was designated by Somerset Council in 1998. Inside the boundary are 35 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 31 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
