About the Courtenay Park and Devon Square Conservation Area
The Courtenay Park and Devon Square Conservation Area covers about 9.7 hectares and was designated by Teignbridge District Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 26 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 25 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Paul, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
