About the Appledore Conservation Area
The Appledore Conservation Area covers about 13 hectares and was designated by Torridge District Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 112 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 111 Grade II). The most significant is Docton House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
