About the Wroxton Conservation Area
The Wroxton Conservation Area covers about 145 hectares within Cherwell District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 69 listed buildings (5 Grade II*, 64 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
