About the Letcombe Regis Conservation Area
The Letcombe Regis Conservation Area covers about 35 hectares and was designated by Vale of White Horse District Council in 1970. Inside the boundary are 21 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 20 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Andrew, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
