About the Kemerton Conservation Area
The Kemerton Conservation Area covers about 24 hectares within Wychavon District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 30 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 28 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Nicholas, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
