About the Stanford in the Vale Conservation Area
The Stanford in the Vale Conservation Area covers about 21 hectares and was designated by Vale of White Horse District Council in 1971. Inside the boundary are 34 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 4 Grade II*, 29 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Denys, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
