About the Adlestrop Conservation Area
The Adlestrop Conservation Area covers about 19 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1981. Inside the boundary are 16 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 15 Grade II). The most significant is Adlestrop Park, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
