About the Harvington Conservation Area
The Harvington Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares within Wychavon District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 19 listed buildings (1 Grade I, 18 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St James, Grade I. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
