About the Tadmarton Conservation Area
The Tadmarton Conservation Area covers about 21 hectares within Cherwell District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 24 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 22 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Nicholas, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
