About the Eynsham Conservation Area
The Eynsham Conservation Area covers about 55 hectares and was designated by West Oxfordshire District Council in 1975. Inside the boundary are 74 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 73 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Leonard, Grade II*. 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.
