About the Thame Conservation Area

The Thame Conservation Area covers about 56 hectares and was designated by Buckinghamshire Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 161 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 11 Grade II*, 148 Grade II). The most significant is Chapel Approximately 10 Metres South of the Prebendal, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
