About the Ickleton Conservation Area
The Ickleton Conservation Area covers about 24 hectares and was designated by South Cambridgeshire District Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 44 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 41 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary Magdalene, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
