About the Cuxham Conservation Area
The Cuxham Conservation Area covers about 20 hectares and was designated by South Oxfordshire District Council in 1978. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings, all Grade II. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
