About the Wheatley Conservation Area
The Wheatley Conservation Area covers about 18 hectares and was designated by South Oxfordshire District Council in 1989. Inside the boundary are 50 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 47 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
