Conservation areas have special architectural or historic interest that need preserving or enhancing.

North Devon Council has 41 conservation areas within its district although this doesn't include the Exmoor National Park area.

We review our conservation areas and produce conservation area character appraisals and management plans for each.

These documents are designed to help homeowners and developers design projects that reflect the character of the local area.

'My neighbourhood' can also help you access information about your property and immediate neighbourhood.
