About the Nettleham Conservation Area
The Nettleham Conservation Area covers about 18 hectares and was designated by West Lindsey District Council in 1985. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 21 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
