About the Stratton Conservation Area
The Stratton Conservation Area covers about 4.3 hectares and was designated by Cotswold District Council in 1990. Inside the boundary are 11 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 10 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Peter, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
