About the North Cerney Conservation Area
The North Cerney Conservation Area covers about 7.0 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 23 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 22 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
