Central Conservation Area — boundary map and what you can build

About the Central Conservation Area

The Central Conservation Area covers about 268 hectares and was designated by Oxford City Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 829 listed buildings (186 Grade I, 64 Grade II*, 579 Grade II). The most significant is 126, High Street, Grade I. 2 Article 4 directions over the area remove further householder rights, on top of the conservation area limits below. 7 Tree Preservation Order records overlap the area; every other tree here still needs six weeks’ notice before work.

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.
