About the Sutton Courtenay Conservation Area
The Sutton Courtenay Conservation Area covers about 43 hectares and was designated by Vale of White Horse District Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 61 listed buildings (3 Grade I, 6 Grade II*, 52 Grade II). The most significant is Church of All Saints, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
