About the Buckland Monachorum Conservation Area
The Buckland Monachorum Conservation Area covers about 9.7 hectares and was designated by West Devon Borough Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 31 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 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.
