Clovelly Conservation Area (Torridge)

About the Clovelly Conservation Area

The Clovelly Conservation Area covers about 8.0 hectares within Torridge District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 72 listed buildings (4 Grade II*, 68 Grade II). The most significant is 59, 60 and 61 The Quay, 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.
