About the Doddiscombsleigh Conservation Area
The Doddiscombsleigh Conservation Area covers about 6.7 hectares and was designated by Teignbridge District Council in 1996. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 12 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Michael, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
