About the South Cerney Conservation Area
The South Cerney Conservation Area covers about 34 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 55 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 54 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Hallows, Grade I. 1 Article 4 direction over the area removes further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 16 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
What changes inside the conservation area
Conservation areas are “Article 2(3) land”. You keep most permitted development rights, but these are removed or tightened.
