About the Weston on the Green Conservation Area
The Weston on the Green Conservation Area covers about 36 hectares within Cherwell District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 32 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 30 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
