About the Wallingford Conservation Area
The Wallingford Conservation Area covers about 75 hectares and was designated by South Oxfordshire District Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 138 listed buildings (4 Grade I, 11 Grade II*, 123 Grade II). The most significant is Fragment of Castle Wall at Su 6096 8978, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
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.
