About the Ampney St Mary Conservation Area
The Ampney St Mary Conservation Area covers about 6.1 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 13 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
