About the Stogursey Conservation Area
The Stogursey Conservation Area covers about 19 hectares and was designated by Somerset Council in 1974. Inside the boundary are 34 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 30 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
