About the Bampton Conservation Area
The Bampton Conservation Area covers about 81 hectares and was designated by West Oxfordshire District Council in 1976. Inside the boundary are 94 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 90 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, 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.
