About the Bredon Conservation Area
The Bredon Conservation Area covers about 28 hectares within Wychavon District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 38 listed buildings (2 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 35 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Giles, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
