About the Mickleton Conservation Area
The Mickleton Conservation Area covers about 25 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1973. Inside the boundary are 34 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 32 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Lawrence, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 4 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
