About the Oddington Conservation Area
The Oddington Conservation Area covers about 44 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 32 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 29 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Nicholas, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 2 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.
