About the Wyre Piddle Conservation Area
The Wyre Piddle Conservation Area covers about 11 hectares within Wychavon District Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 22 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 21 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Anne, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 2, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
