About the Nuneham Courtenay Conservation Area
The Nuneham Courtenay Conservation Area covers about 425 hectares and was designated by South Oxfordshire District Council in 1984. Inside the boundary are 51 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 48 Grade II). The most significant is Carfax Conduit, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
